Pros

The work colleagues and customers are great to deal with.

Cons

They love performance managing people. 5 people in my direct team alone, have been managed out of the company. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. High turnover. Minimal training and thrown in deep-end. People just tapped on shoulder for promotion without applying - if you’re a ‘favourite’. Whilst others have to apply and be rejected numerous times. Bad performance for the ‘favourites’ are you brushed aside.
