Lack of acknowledging good/hard work. 4. Management can not communicate what they want 5. Lack of proper training for financial advice and other aspects. 6. Lack of boundaries in terms of talking about employees choices and their private lives. 7. Lack of an HR department to complain when management has crossed a boundary 8. Extremely high expectations 9. High attrition rate (constantly having employees leave) 10. Being compared to other employees. 11. There were multiple instances of micro-aggressions in terms of hiring and general speaking.

Pros

Circular Quay location, never boring

Cons

Dictator owner, delusional crazy person. Openly bullies staff. CEO is powerless and doesn't care for the staff. Everyone is miserable, they spend a lot of money on the wrong things. No strategy or staff progression
