Pros

The people you work with are genuinely lovely and supportive. Many colleagues work hard and try their best to create a positive enviroment despite the challenges.

Cons

Management can be very toxic and there is a clear lack of appreciation for loyal employees.Many of the managers appear to have little to no experience managing people effectively. Salaries are below market rate, and it is common for new starters to be paid more than long-term staff in similar roles. There is little to no meaningful career progression. Even when responsibilities increase or someone effectively performs a more senior role, it often comes without any salary increase or proper compensation. As a result, many employees feel undervalued and unhappy.
