Pros

I left in 2025, for better opportunities and recognition with a competitor.

Cons

Contracts are in silos; so variable performance and inconsistent methods of work inhibit real growth, progress and development of employees.

Pros

The workers were good and tried their best.

Cons

Management and systems were a constant fight. It's hard to make money when you're just getting mucked about.
