Pros

This box must have 5 words entered

Cons

On Friday I found out that not only is one of the Business Directors rude, sexually inappropriate and sarcastic, she is also allowed to mock the disabled. Not just allowed, encouraged. For a person to be presented with an award for mocking and LAUGHING AT a person who is disabled. The only word is shocked. Shocked that I have joined such an organisation. Shocked that said person can be considered a ‘leader,’ shocked that more people have not written this review. Looking for my first ticket out of there.
