Great benefits, decent pay, the perks are great but of course if a job pays well it demands a lot and that is we travel constantly and work A LOT.

Since I travel constantly I am not allowed to have a life. Very corporate atmosphere. Rather boring job as I do the same thing everyday. The management doesn't involve us in strategic planning at all, each person has their little job to do and the box is very narrow.

Training and stop being so corporate - involve your workers in this process. Follow your own model.

the work load, lack of respect from senior management
