Pros
Exposure to community engagement and cultural-related initiatives. Opportunity to work on programmes and events with external stakeholders and partners. Colleagues at the operational level can be supportive and committed to delivering work. Meaningful work with potential impact on community outreach and cultural promotion.
Cons
Toxic working environment with office politics affecting collaboration. Leadership favouritism perceived towards a small inner circle, leading to unequal treatment and influence. Employees who do not align with leadership may feel excluded, sidelined or overlooked. Recognition and opportunities may depend more on relationships than performance. Declining morale and employee engagement due to management culture. Staff turnover concerns and loss of experienced employees.
