Pros

There were a lot of training opportunities during working hours, if you had time to take them. These included computer training like Excel as well as skill training like Time Management, Stress Management and Team Building. There is a cafe on site for breakfast and lunch.

Cons

Upper management did not treat all employees fairly. Too many favorites. Hard work was not rewarded. Too much micro-managing. Upper management did not fully understand what the team did on a daily basis so there were often unrealistic expectations of the team.
