Pros

great people to work with! the social aspect was always amazing here. most people are really happy to help.

Cons

pay is terrible. absolutely under-resourced, everyone constantly fights fires, nothing progresses because it needs to be approved by regional and global first, there is no time and room for training and career progression. I do hope this is just because of the recent global restructure and that the company is on the up again!

Pros

The people you work with are great.

Cons

Started as a 6-day work week. Ended as a 60-hour work week. Zero time for your own life. Management expected you to work to live. Not live to work. Too much workload for one person to equal a 40 hour work week.
