Pros

Benefits, salary, good brands, some very skilled individuals

Cons

Lots of people in management just coasting along. If you start at the company with any kind of energy about you, your spirit and self esteem is slowly tempered by your colleagues. Public humiliation in middle management meetings is the norm. Some line managers scapegoat their staff repeatedly. There is one particular individual who has been at the company for a while despite him making some very major mistakes... he blamed others to senior managment and drove them out of the company to cover his tracks. He also will take your ideas and present them to the board as his own!

Pros

Offer all colleagues private healthcare however, the plan is very restrictive.

Cons

Limited progression. Very poor management at all levels. Lots of legacy colleagues with significantly inflated salaries which causes tension amongst the workforce. Work-life balance is also poor- large emphasis on working beyond contracted hours for salaried staff without compensation.
