What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

- Having real accountability for my actions and the decisions that I take. Yes it can be a bit daunting initially, but knowing that there are people to support and guide me makes it easier!
- The variety of my work.
- The people. I get to work with colleagues from across the whole of the business in different functions and also external parties such as creative designers.
- Being trusted and feeling valued. I'm trusted to make decisions, feel comfortable to make mistakes and feel valued by my team and the company.
- Being able to get involved in a variety of projects and events across the company that are outside of my day-to-day role - this includes charity events, mentoring, and community projects.
- Being able to travel across the country to different sites, to learn about all areas of our supply chain (from farms, feed mills, product development) and meet and connect with other colleagues who I wouldn't ordinarily see regularly.

Worst
