Pros

Generally nice and helpful staff Parking

Cons

Two managers at each others necks, providing stress and low morale for the rest of the staff Unacceptable conduct in language used, nothing happens because it’s ’all just a South Afrikaans way’ so it’s just expected that it’s ‘okay’ because of that (?) Hierarchy is blurred, gossiping staff Inappropriate comments and inappropriate means of dealing with such Not a pleasant environment to be every day for work VERY high ego males
