Pros

- Unlike a lot of international companies here you do not need to waste your time doing any post high school study to get a top job. - You can side track the laborious interview process to get promotions and just become mates with a manager. - All the threats to a positive culture change within the company are quickly eradicated because those who could make it happen either leave or are fired.

Cons

- The lack of diversity in the thinking style of leaders means it is possible to forget which manager gave you which job. - No one makes notes of who said what at meetings, I found this odd at the start but quickly realised it was so leaders could avoid accountability for some awful decisions. - Time spent planning how to improve the business is met with distain and disgust because you should be doing stuff.

Pros

Salary, good managerial bonus scheme.

Cons

No flexibility! Clocking on and off, fixed holidays, old fashioned. Slightest hint of a down turn and they make 50% of staff redundant. I survived 9 years
