Pros

Gratis training product every blue moon. That’s honestly about it.

Cons

I could go on forever. They make it impossible to reach HR or anyone from head office for that matter. Management are terrible and have the emotional maturity of 16 year olds from high school. They set unrealistic expectations and KPI’s and shame you when you do not reach them. The list keeps going.
