Unwelcoming and terrible people

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing at all absolutely terrible

Cons

Staff all super unwelcoming no on said hello to me when I started acted like I didn't even exist. They had none of my logins and ppe prepared even after 2 month of me accepting the job. They also never sent me a contract so I only signed one on my first day of starting. Taught me nothing would leave me alone with nothing to do but also expect me to know what I was doing without any training or trainer around.
