Corporate reputation for integrity in the African market. Genuine respect and concern for employee welfare even if it is not financial. Flexibility in employee relations

Bureaucratic organisational. structures, processes and systems. Too many approvals required to get some simple things done. Approvals can be streamlined to first level executive management.

Pros

Salary but you pay a price.

Cons

No opportunities of promotion despite having a 'Performance Development Plan' and constantly achieving and exceeding targets. You can train and develop to your hearts content and strive to do well but at the end of the day it's up to the line managers who they employ. I know many people high up in the company who have been forced out of their department due to changes and bad management. Went from having a great job to having no proper job description and being kept on because of my headcount.
