Pros

Not even one. nope, sorry !

Cons

Tons & Tons ! Politics Galore – Global politics has nothing on the games being played here in GH. Clueless Senior Management – No one has a clue where we’re headed. It’s all about surviving the day. Disastrous Leadership – They say they’re open to feedback, but try giving some, and you’ll regret ever speaking up. Work-life balance - Big Joke ! They focus solely on their own needs, and while you might sacrifice sleepless nights to meet their demands, don't expect any acknowledgment or appreciation in return Word of suggestion, DO NOT JOIN HERE AT ANY COST
