  • Best thing

    No micro management, trusted to get on with it. Not overly busy but enough to do for overtime when I need the money.

    Worst thing

    Lack of management skills from higher ups. Extremely toxic attitude from individuals. New people coming in have a bad attitude too.

    Worst thing

    Pay, hours, stress from customers and controllers. Management seem to side with the public when a complaint is made. Pay rises are always below inflation.
