The operational people made the place...

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented operational people made working directly for the business engaging.

Cons

The central teams were disconnected from the business, self serving quite often and not supporting the operational teams. This made it very hard to be in the middle trying to defend that behaviour often. Lots of internal self promotion meant that unless you didnt bow down to the right people progression was hindered. Quite often internal promotions were made to people who had little experience and not positive outcomes were felt because of those promotions.

Pros

A lot of opportunities for me to progress through the company. Excellent starting wage, good amount of holidays and an annual bonus to top it off.

Cons

Not as busy as I’d like to be, but on the plus side for someone who has been in the industry for a long time, the perfect job!
