Pros

No pros to speak of.

Cons

The workplace culture was difficult and shaped by gossip, favouritism, and office politics, which created a stressful environment for employees. Staff turnover was very high, with the same role being repeatedly advertised due to people leaving or being dismissed regularly. There was also a constant sense of pressure around job security, with Performance Improvement Plans frequently mentioned in a threatening way.
