Pros
Poor planning leaves huge holes in work schedules, so there is plenty of time to put your feet up and look busy.
Cons
Poor departmental management, only made worse by department managers being happier to blame other departments than get to the root of the problem. Regularly using expressions like 'sometimes you need to burn your fingertips to know not to do that again' or 'it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission'
No end of year appraisal, and should you beg for one, the cop out will be that 'it’s all decided by the MD, I will make a recommendation on your behalf'.
No to minimal pay review, expect nothing, that way you can’t be disappointed.
