Unprofessional company

Business Outlook

Pros

None at all, terrible company.

Cons

Management plays favourites and protects certain staff while dismissing others, no matter how serious the complaint. Racism, sexism, and fat-shaming are openly tolerated, and even reports of predatory behaviour are ignored. Complaints go nowhere, the environment is toxic, and there is zero professionalism. This is not a safe or supportive place to work.
