Pros

There is no pros at all

Cons

The most horrible place to work for. Life balance is so poor, they schedule you to work 10 days with one day off on a shift 3pm till 00am. They give you 3 different shifts in one week. One weekend off a month, you will mostly do 3pm till 00. No life whatsoever with this company. Absolute exploitation. Would be better off begging on street than working for this company. Salary is very poor.

Pros

Great benefits and generous bonuses. Good starting salary for a grad. Good career development opportunities, employees are always encouraged to apply for promotions. Great people.

Cons

Terrible shift schedule and no flexibility. No work-life balance, employees are burnt out. Great people isn't really a pro when most people are leaving - retention is terrible. Extremely disorganised and lack of structure - serious growing pains, no opportunity to create change and suggestions are ignored. Lack of experience in management, very little support. High KPIs that are unachievable and little support in achieving them, short of being told that you need to improve. Culture used to be great, but with new KPIs and shift schedules being introduced, there is a lack of morale and culture is not the same anymore.
