Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are offered are decent

Cons

Upper management plays favorites and often comes across as entitled rather than supportive. There is a lack of leadership, coaching, and employee development. Communication is poor, and management frequently appears to be on their phones instead of being present and engaged with staff. The work environment can feel discouraging, and employees deserve stronger leadership, fairness, and support.
