Best thing
I love my job. It's busy. Mentally and physically demanding. Being outdoors. Meeting lots of people. Feeling of accomplishment.
Worst thing
Gross mismanagement. Overworked. Impossible to complete the job. Zero bonuses or perks. Hard to get any annual leave. Bosses allow staff to take the blame for their errors. Badly maintained equipment such as vehicles and PDAs. Rude, threatening and abusive management. All efforts on bringing in huge profits shared between senior management and shareholders. Senior management lie to the public and media. Management don't listen to staff they push their own agenda.
