Pros

I had a great, approachable manager, friendly welcoming staff and a close knit team. I only left due to relocating and a training contract offer elsewhere. Onboarding and training was great. The salary may have changed by now.

Cons

No major cons that I can recall. It was a great place to work.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to read your positive comments. However, sorry to hear your work-life balance hasn’t met expectations.
