Pros

Working from home is the only one that I can think of.

Cons

This has been a dissapointing place to work unfortunately. Even if you work really hard, no one really recognizes it - they might give you a low value coupon very rarely if you perform “well” (according to the HR who obviously given the coupons to the people who they are friends with). Myself and a lot of others think it’s a joke. The HR people, especially the people who had been there a long time should know how to do their job better, they never give clear answers, they always try to use against you anything that you say and they don’t know how to run the place…be careful. If you want to join this company, just do for a few months until you find something better. The SALARY is a JOKE and the salary yearly increase is 3-4%. When you are getting paid so little, 3-4% is insulting. A lot of people who I speak with want to leave soon and this is due to the lack of progression, low pay, the way HR controls everything terribly and the toxic environment.

Pros

I met some amazing people here; and working here was a good experience. Working remotely was a big positive since salary was low and I was the only person with a job in my family. Meeting Jonny and Joe; the CFO and Finance Manager was a breath of fresh air; even though we disagreed on most things.

Cons

There was very little opportunity for growth for me; although I asked for it and worked for it; I eventually grew disappointed because there was nothing I could do to go up the ladder. Initially I thought it was a matter of time but people in different sectors of the business advised me to run away because I would never receive gratitude for my hard work. Unfortunately; me and my family were close to being made homeless and when I asked for a promotion due to my hard work; I was mocked. No one really cared about my situation as much as they wanted the job done. Thankfully; God has his ways and I found massive success in creating my own businesses.
