      Pros

      Good Salary, higher the band the better the bonus allocation, private healthcare. But makes it very hard to leave the organisation and find similar pay.

      Cons

      Toxic environment, bullying and harassment. Long hours due to too much work. Always asking for more. Mamagement culture is to "challenge" but it is actually belittling, micromanaging and constantly putting people down. Not enough people to get the job done yet they are cutting our headcount to make savings. So many reports, reporting for the sake of reporting, take up so much time to produce for it not to be read. People are mentally and physically ill.
