Waited weeks upon weeks for wages (they pay monthly, it's retarded) and finally, I was paid half of what I'm owed.

Pros

Two free lunches, over two days and got to work outside which was nice.

Cons

Full of dubs, if I never hear a dublin accent again it will be too soon. Pay monthly (why exactly??? It's stupid) and when they do pay wages, they don't pay what is owed. In my case they paid half. Too many old managers there on a power trip that haven't a clue how to do a good job.
