Cons
Senior managers more concerned with managing upwards with little care or empathy for their employees Lack of ethnic diversity especially in the senior management team Increasingly corporate environment Work-life balance not correct especially in Finance Unwillingness to offer corrective remuneration measures to retain employees Increasing control from head office through the placement of senior staff Nepotism is rife The increasing desire for control has resulted in more senior hires from head office which has eroded the sense of family & independence that the business used to have
