Pros

Good flexibility, sick leave policy, great team members.

Cons

Management, particularly in IT, has gone downhill after the 2 restructures in 8 months. IT leadership have removed anyone who would voice concerns, and have left a bunch of yes men. CEO has zero empathy or sympathy for the general public, a true business man who only cares about returns.

Tedious and boring work environment

Pros

There is nothing that I can think of.

Cons

Decision making and communication could improve, not having the right people in the room when decisions that make impacts down the line is critical. - The so called employee discount is not a discount, as they call the staff power plan 'published' rate. Even though they state 35% off power, in reality its likely 5-10%
