Pros

1.Some talented individuals within the team who are passionate about education. 2.Opportunities to learn due to the fast-paced nature of tasks.

Cons

1.Undefined and overwhelming workload: The course and task load is extremely heavy, often without clear prioritization or realistic timelines. 2.Toxic work culture: Management frequently encourages gossip, leading to a non-collaborative and uncomfortable work environment. 3.Uncompetitive compensation: The salary scale is significantly below market rate, and annual increases are minimal — in some cases only around 2%. 4.Focus on past mistakes: Instead of fostering growth, management repeatedly brings up old errors, which affects morale and prevents a forward-thinking culture. 5.Low delivery and unclear processes: Many projects lack follow-through, resulting in frequent delays and unmet goals. 6.High turnover: Employees leave regularly, which disrupts productivity and creates instability across teams. 7.Unfair or biased treatment: Some employees receive preferential treatment while others feel overlooked, impacting fairness and motivation.
