Business Outlook

Pros

BBQs once a year, average salary, lots of policies in place which helped with winning bids and tenders. Most employees were fairly young too so the environment was fairly laid back.

Cons

Very corporate. You were a small fish and upper management did not care about who you were. People were very caught up in their titles and those above you did not talk to you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good communication, complaints are heard and move up the chain quickly. Generally if you don't like your job you can change it. There's room for upward mobility if you're willing to put in the hard work and education.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic and more sales oriented then you'd expect.
