Pros

Great colleagues who are very co-operative and a lot of things to learn from each job experience. Generally a pleasant place to work in and the management is very willing to share their information from HQ to everyone in the company.

Cons

There are not many cons for this company except the pay may be just average compared to market rates. Also, need to be prepared to hang on a bit longer so that you can reap the rewards from your good performance.
