Pros

A job in the current climate

Cons

I am going to call out the senior managers in the organisation, who are putting glowing references on here as part of a recruitment drive for roles paying below the market rate. This is typical of the approach of image over substance.

Pros

secure lifelong positions. tight community...if you fit in. There are many pros if they like you

Cons

Lack of empathy towards people with mental illnesses. The place is full of bullies and life wreckers. If your face fits you're laughing.
