Pros

Good salary. Decent offices and work environments. Expansion and profitability of business means that there is good cash flow to compensate employees, though many leave to better cultured organisations.

Cons

Toxic political culture. Huge back stabbing and showmanship. Little room for individuality. Very clique oriented. Organisation moving from a real estate to a technology solutions company.

You get paid on time is probably the only good thing there

Leadership has been there for 20+ years company is going down the pan. Salary’s aren’t inline with the current market. Systems are old and doesn’t work they need to have things on one place not everywhere so much more to say
