Pros

Well paid for effectively doing nothing but sit in meetings to ensure middle and upper managers felt good about themselves.

Cons

Overall, most managers were more interested in gouging the company for their own benefits rather than determining what would be in the businesses best interests. Poorly run project teams, with no direction or decision making from key managers (mostly because they were playing polictical games of getting themselves noticed by the EVPs and CEO). CEO actively engaged on diversity debate, but allowed misogynistic managers to implement program. Most successful managers within business were poor on execution and bold on promises.

Pros

The pay was good when you didn't have to fight with management about your entitlements and allowances

Cons

Profits and bums on seats are prioritised over safety. Appalling safety record. No support. Micro managing leaders. Managers are selected by how many boxes they can tick rather than experience and capability. No promotion from with in. Dare to speak up about safety issues and you just get shot down
