Downers
Not having a good support system for myself. Being management
we have responsibility and need some back up also. In this
environment the administration people are independent to the
functioning of the office.
We were a branch in APAC which made things difficult at times.

Lifestyle
I had flexibility with my hours could come and go as I pleased. Was often doing
out of office running around and noone worried where I was or not. We had a
smart casual dress code unless visitng clients or being notified of overseas
visitors then we changed dress code.
We developed a good office culture for a year then we were too busy to do
activities and it fell by the wayside.
Good local knowledge of suppliers for equipment maintenance entertaining
conference facilities is valuable.

employers i australia current rate 9% of salary
