Pros

Friendly colleagues below director level. A genuine wish to help the sport and those taking part in the sport(s). There are many experts in their field trying to do a great job.

Cons

Recent changes highlight a move away from flexibility with people being told they need to be in the office more for collaboration. Cancelling of the employee awards, Christmas party and the company day (Christmas Eve) highlight a turn away from people centric and more toward control. SLT got a 3 day trip to 'plan' though and came back with changes they had not spoken to heads of departments about. Lots of money spent on consultants and now they say they are falling short on projected income. Quick fixes and no real direction from a recently expanded directorship under a new CEO.
