Good manager = happy rep

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Above average market salaries If you get a good manager you will be relatively happy

Cons

Strict EV car policy put in place - if you need a family car you can forget it unless you pay upwards of 90k for it. Constantly engage external ‘consultants’ to review work productively resulting in more meetings & KPI’s being enforced. Increased concerned about KPI’s (quantity over quality). If you have leadership aspirations prepare to ‘network’ and ‘brand’ yourself - this is not a meritocracy.
