Pros

Decent base pay Excellent Colleagues

Cons

Bonuses and pay rises have been decreasing year on year. ELT are quick to blame failures on staff and refuse to acknowledge their role in any shortcomings. This company no longer cares for its employees' work life balance, or about retaining good staff.
