Business Outlook

Pros

The organisation was supportive of staff development and strong people focus. Salaries are good as are working conditions and benefits.

Cons

Sometimes inefficient and limited communications from top to bottom. Due to the scale of operations, age of route infrastructure and deliverables demanded targets were sometimes unrealistic.
