Pros

Salary, staff shop, some good people in potions that can offer support but not enough.

Cons

A strange culture, certainly protection of favourites, I saw examples of cover ups when serious breaches in policy took place. Tow the line or you won’t fit in here. If you are a “yes” man this is the place for you.
