Pros

Good salary and amazing dnd.

Cons

Everything else. - toxic work culture where the people are too demanding and expecting everything to be provided by the company. - too many long timers who are not familiar with the new changes in the world. They expect us to work in the 90s mindset. Time to change the management.

Strong investment in systems but very toxic leadership culture

Pros

The company invests heavily in systems that facilitate the needed work and the company itself is well established and is strong in the industry.

Cons

Leadership culture feels highly political, with too much focus on hierarchy and personal advancement rather than supporting teams. Employees in junior and mid-level roles often feel overlooked and undervalued. There is strong pressure to deliver numbers, but limited attention given to employee wellbeing, fairness, or ethical decision-making. This creates a stressful and toxic work environment with low morale.

Pros

Very supportive team and positive work environment. Good opportunities to learn and grow, especially in customer handling and communication skills. Management is approachable, and processes are well-structured overall

Cons

Workload can be busy at times, especially during peak periods, but it helps in gaining valuable experience. Some processes could be further streamlined for even better efficiency
