Pros
Pleasant work environment, educated employees, lovely gardens, on site café. Anna Ball is very active with management and has a professional worth ethic which makes her employees want to work hard for her.
Cons
Because there is very little turnover many people reach their own level of incompetentcy rather quickly - but yet think they are brilliant. The company has difficulty staying the course and is distracted by what they believe to be the next big thing. No succession planning and most management is close to retirement age or should have retired 10 years ago. Management can be self serving ignoring what is right and correct. Low salaries and annual review increases are typically less than 2%.
