Pros

Staff were extremely positive to work with. Everyone helped everyone, even during the challenging liquidation process.

Cons

Technology use was the most antiquated and paranoid system that I have worked with in the last 20 years. Regional and area management liked to micromanage and provided no help with the so-called perks that were supposed to be a benefit
