CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are good people in the company

Cons

Poor pay, not being valued, lack of management drive for rewarding employees even when based on proven years of good performance. Currently doing a higher level role on previous roles pay (not changed in 3 years even now doing a promoted job role for +12 months) - constant pushback for salary alignment to current role with no reason or evidence given, Italian management are a big issue and treat UK poorly with no respect
