Business Outlook

Pros

Great team dynamic among colleagues before recent leadership changes. Exposure to solid accounting and credit processes.

Cons

Workplace culture shifted dramatically following the arrival of a new Finance Director. Collaboration between Finance and HR leadership has raised concerns around fairness and integrity in decision-making. Several dismissals appeared to lack due process, contributing to a climate of fear and uncertainty. Employee voices are often disregarded, and decisions seem influenced more by personal agendas than organizational values.
