Pros

Pay rate is good but you can get the same pay anywhere!

Cons

Absolutely the worst company ive ever worked for. The senior management team are completely out of touch with reality. They mask behind "not for profit" but it is all smoke and mirrors. There only really concern is staff hitting the KPI. Beware, you will regret working here.
