Pros

The remuneration is relatively good and it is a good place to start just for the brand name on your resume.

Cons

There is little opportunities for career progression and growth. Management is not interested in grooming talents/leadership from within. There is a lack of direction in terms of leadership. Important changes/news within the firm are not conveyed until the eleventh hour. Politics is rife and employees are treated as pawns of the firm. You are hired, at best, as a well-paid production-line worker. ' Do what you are told and don't question too much' seems to be the way to live if you want to stake out here for long, otherwise, your frustrations will one day kill you. It is no wonder that the turnover rate here is high.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
