Business Outlook

Pros

When the business was a head count of 800 a few years ago, opportunities were aplenty. That immediately got cut each time a new business was bought out and taken over.

Cons

US takeover with latest CEO and friends. Now has a US politically strategised approach to managing the business. Nonexistent role progression, with opportunities only awarded through favouritism and undermining access to role progression among peers. No profit pool, doesn’t look like we’ll see it return, expect a blanket salary increase of a few %, only to catch up on the below market pay average for roles, with the continued below inflation match.
