Can be good, can also be a toxic enrironment

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, pay, progression and training

Cons

Can at times be toxic with bullying in the workplace. People bad mouthing each other behind each other backs is very common. Unrealistic workloads are a common thing, its not uncommon to see people working 40hrs plus without a break and be none directly expected to do so yourself.
