Pros

People, some of the training (depending on area), nice uniform

Cons

People treated like dirt in branches, promotions based on looks, paid unfairly if promoted internally, managers expensing lunches and drinks whilst staff on rubbish wages.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
