CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The team of PTs is nice

Cons

- workload increases, little to no support on managing it - no regard for wellbeing - working hours can be changed last minute and you’ve got nothing to say - progression exists but you need to be willing to play friends with upper management - made to feel as a lesser manager at times
