Pros

No pros, all bad experience

Cons

Worst management Ive ever seen, super rude people who don’t help. People humiliate you and demoralise you. On top of that the pay system is absolutely hell. You never know how much pay you’ll actually get in the month. Worst job and worst people I’ve ever interacted with. Was told so many lies in the interview process

Business Outlook

Pros

People are nice and the office location is quite convenient.

Cons

They have rigid policies for progression where you’re only eligible for promotion after every few years. Not a great place if you’re just starting out since your promotion is based more on no. of years served rather than your performance. Salary is lower than average too. Might be a good place for retirement.

Pros

Image on the market is still good

Cons

Shrinking revenue in all markets. Aging workforce. Processes were forgotten to improve in the 90's and are too complex for anyone to understand and touch.
