Pros

some nice people to work with, with the opportunity to grow in your role and take on extra responsibilities

Cons

Decision making regarding retrenchments can't be sane. Regional offices losing staff due to retrenchments so only skeleton staff remain = extra pressure/stress for the staff remaining causes them to leave also. No staff = no work can be done = no money. To lose experienced staff is like shooting yourself in the foot. High chargability doesn't equal job security. Received excellent reviews so that's not the issue either. Don't understand their reasoning.
