Pros

Great place to work if you’re South African.

Cons

I worked here for two years full time and found that my experience was let down by poor management. My line manager would sit with his feet on his desk chewing gum and then whistle you over only to bark orders at you. He would tell me off for not doing work over night. He would give me jobs that weren’t in my job description that I couldn’t do and more work than I could possibly achieve. He would casually swear at his staff and even once said ‘I hope they are dead’ about a worker than didn’t show up on time one morning. Many walked out before me until I eventually followed after being discriminated against in an annual review meeting. The company paid me to avoid going to court because I was guaranteed a win for harassment and bullying in the workplace.

We understand the importance of continuously developing our managers, as such we have recently rolled out a line management training programme to strengthen the skills of our management community. We are very disappointed to hear that you felt discriminated against in your annual review meeting. We take any cases of discrimination extremely seriously and encourage all staff to raise any concerns to our People & Culture team, to initiate an investigation.

Pros

- Every knows how to work and laugh throughout the day - Everyone acts as team here - Communication is relied upon heavily here and everyone does it well.

Cons

I haven't been here long enough to bring up any cons but in the time I've been here, I have no real cons as of yet. I mean long periods of sitting is always a con but you're not constrained to sitting all day so it works out.
