Pros

Direct colleagues make it worth while. Some good benefits and supplier freebies

Cons

The workplace culture is significantly strained by leadership’s communication style. Management frequently employs aggressive and exclusionary tactics, often singling out individuals in group settings rather than handling performance conversations privately. Boundaries are rarely respected, and mistakes are met with blame rather than solutions. This creates a high-stress environment that has caused several strong performers to leave prematurely.
