Pros

We enjoy working within our own team because we have good teamwork.

Cons

Lack respect from management team. Many case where supervisors and managers shout at employees and nothing was done. Lacks ownership and a lot of work pushed around to other teams. Employees dare not raise issues because fear retaliation.
