Pros

Flexible working arrangements and generally friendly colleagues made day-to-day work enjoyable. There was a supportive atmosphere among peers, and the flexibility helped with work-life balance.

Cons

Management lacked professionalism and people-management skills. Training was unstructured and inconsistent, which made it difficult to develop in the role. There was little recognition for hard work, and communication from management could feel disengaged.
