Pros

Some colleagues who are working their hardest trying to save a business

Cons

Short term mentality of the business leaders means that the Pet Care business will not succeed as there is no vision or investment for the future. The savage cost and head cutting has lead to the loss of some very experienced middle managers who knew how to run this business. While the GM's departure was non regretted its too little too late. The shared resources at Manchester means no resources and none with the intelligence to understand Pet Care. HR is a function to support the company's maverick ways not to support employees.

Good company to work for. Very supportive environment, and IT management was constantly trying to advance and support their employee's careers and passions.

Only con was that the internship program was cut due to budget related issues before a hiring opportunity was able to be presented

Pros

Peer relationships are usually solid

Cons

Velocity and volume of work. 50 hours a week is normal. Nights and weekends to get the job done is common. Very stressful. Competiting priorities always. Job titles that don't align with roles. High turnover. Lack of stability within the organization. The company is moving too fast. Job descriptions change frequently. Teammate care is poor.
