A Rewarding ChallengeThe good thingsDiversity of businesses - my work requires me to coordinate across the group of companies, but each company has its own interesting challenges and opportunities.
Company benefits are decent, salary package is competitive in conjunction with the healthcare, insurance and other perks.
Work environment is welcoming; people are generally friendly and respectful towards each other, and the culture is positive.
The challengesPerhaps a greater connect between upper management and the rank and file could be cultivated. The unionization creates friction that could be avoided with more communication and empathy from both sides.
The companies themselves are in very competitive industries where sales and profits do not come easily. There may be concerns with job security and steady increases of compensation due to the volatility that the businesses face.
