Pros
There are opportunities for shopping centres to evolve quickly if the management evolves quickly. But they are running out of time to do it well.
Cons
Blame culture. Incompetence in Strategy. Extreme prejudice against qualified and capable business people, particularly woman at the expense of bench strength and progress even pre covid. A sense of competition and subordination against women in general. Woman are only rewarded for cheerleading or playing along with childish little boy games and not respected as equal. True misogynists have been empowered beyond their capability to reign. It's sad to see decent people feeling like they have to buy into this, laughing at their jokes and sitting through their self serving stories where they are the hero's and all others the villains. So much wasted time looking for who to blame rather than the root cause business problems to be solved. Led by charismatic, political, narcissists who blame anything and anyone for poor company performance and personally thrive in poor economic conditions as it disguises the lack of strategy and underlying performance and gives them reason to create short term business critical distractions like sabotaging talent in the name of business recovery. Lying, gossiping foot-soliders perpetuate hysteria to distract from their bullying and lack of capability. They prioritise personal gain and job security over business improvement and it has cost many their professional credibility and wellbeing with actual delivery becoming almost impossible in this workplace unless it can be understood and credited to the boys club. That this behaviour has gone undetected and unmanaged is a governance and community concern. We should all fear for progress that workplaces like this exist. Like a bad virus, bad culture is bought in by one undetected person and spreads through the population until in becomes the norm. For the most part people at the top are beaten down as participants and I question anyone's objectivity to assess its nature at this point. Complaints do nothing, HR is selective about who they ask about it . Unchecked homophobia and anti-Semitism behind closed doors. Extreme sexism and endemic sexual harassment. They pay massive salaries relative to any other sectors, relative contribution and managerial capability because its an old industry and rather than reform by seeking commercially capability people they dig in and enjoy whats left of the good old days. Despite big salaries not tied to performance I would not recommend participating in this company for any woman or man with self respect.
