Reluctance to change Location for some

Multinational company. I don’t see any cons.

depends on which district and which manager hire you

Challenging to hit sales target

You have to be independent as sometimes things should be done independently. Some are helpful, there are times when support is limited

Not so hybrid friendly (only 1 day WFH per week)

There's an excessive bureaucracy and office politics in the workplace, and expectations are too high and unrealistic, with little to no support from the immediate manager- they expect you to know everything on the fly. Some of the ADs / Senior Managers were abusing their authority/powers, and some are even invalidating one's skills. They say they're open to ideas, but when you voice them out, they contradict them most of the time. Lack of support, lack of guidance, lack of materials at some point. This is a common issue, which is why there is a high attrition rate at some positions.

The salary doesn’t always match the demands of the role, particularly when dealing with complex situations that require a lot of emotional and mental energy.

you lose all things you earned if you couldn’t do any policy continuity 3 months

Depends on yr boss/team/dept's strategic focus - whether that matches how far you want to stretch in a certain timeframe
