Questions & Answers about En mi nuevo trabajo hay muy buen rollo.

What does rollo mean here, and how is it used in Spain?
In Spain, rollo is a very common colloquial word with many meanings. In the phrase buen rollo, it means a good vibe or good atmosphere. You will also hear mal rollo for a bad vibe, or someone saying ¡Qué rollo! to complain that something is really boring or a total drag.
Why is nuevo placed before trabajo instead of after it?
Placing nuevo before the noun means it is new to you, like a newly acquired job, car, or apartment. If you said trabajo nuevo, it would emphasize that the position itself is brand new or newly created in the world. Paying attention to this distinction helps your Spanish sound much more natural.
Why is it muy buen rollo and not muy bueno rollo?
The adjective bueno drops its final -o when it comes directly before a masculine singular noun. This shortening happens even when there is an adverb like muy in front of it. Since rollo is masculine and singular, bueno must become buen.
Could I use tiene instead of hay to say the job 'has' a good vibe?
Yes, you could say Mi nuevo trabajo tiene muy buen rollo (My new job has a really good vibe). However, using the impersonal hay (there is) along with en (in or at) is a very natural, standard way to describe the general atmosphere of a place or situation in Spanish.
