Pros

Friendly employees and site managers

Cons

- Leadership is extremely top-down and controlling, with heavy micromanagement from the CEO that leaves little room for trust or autonomy - Decisions are dictated from the top with very little thought behind the decisions. Every business based decision is reactive rather than proactive. - A “do as you’re told” culture rather than a collaborative one - Promotions are driven by favouritism rather than performance, capability, or experience, regardless of past behaviours. - Workplace culture discourages speaking up — challenging leadership or offering different views is not welcomed - Poor remuneration and workplace flexibility - Heavily embedded ways of getting the job done, to tick the box and appear compliant on the surface Many red flags which aren't apparent when you first start there, as they are often covered by a fancy onboarding, smoke and mirrors, but the cracks start to appear over time. I have learned to not ignore the signs from the beginning
