Pros

Working on the estate has many rewards. One of them is the fact that you are working with exceptional people. The attitude of those employed by the estate is overall very positive. A huge benefit of employment is a health clinic that is provided to the employees five days a week at no charge. Long tenured employees are a testament to the fact that you are valued and taken care of when you work on the estate.

Cons

They are not the top on the pay scale, but they pay a good wage. There are benefits that help to even it out. You are needed, so it is important that you are in good health and a reliable worker.
