Pros
Occasional perks such as donuts or lunches, sometimes linked to performance
Friendly on the surface at times
Cons
No dedicated HR function, which leads to inconsistent and unprofessional practices
Inappropriate behaviour was tolerated, including comments and conduct that should not be acceptable in a workplace
Lack of clear role definition, I was hired for one position, but responsibilities shifted significantly without discussion or formal agreement
No written job specification or clear expectations; most guidance is given verbally, allowing responsibilities and expectations to change without documentation
Poor communication and lack of transparency
Decisions are made without clear feedback or opportunity to address concerns
