Hard working and good people. Occasionally felt bored and a little unnecssary, as the promote the superstars, and not everyone else

Cons

domination, and how are you supposed to advance from a young stage if you are not guided by the management at all?

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
