Pros

I sort of liked how the open plan office allowed you to see who was at their desk, but it became horrible like big brother watching and people using it against you.

Cons

The database is full of errors and the staff are judgemental. They want to pick faults wherever they can and it becomes impossible to do your job properly. I just stick it out now because I need the money but im looking for new opportunities.

Pros

can't think of too many

Cons

I had a terrible experience with this company. Week to week I would get conflicting advice, direction and priorities with no recognition of what had previously been discussed. This caused wasted time and frustration. I was relieved to leave the company. Lots of old school culture at this company and leadership lacked consistency and transparency and were often distracted during our rare time together.
