      Pros

      Young, vibrant workforce. Constantly growing. Management spends (sometimes needlessly) on working environment improvement e.g. LCD TVs, new deli.

      Cons

      Pays new hires better than current staff (even though current staff are more experienced). No objective promotion criteria - based on management's liking esp in the back office.

      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.
