Pros
Knowledgeable, supportive management
Managers put a lot of trust in their teams
Flexibility around shifts, including a fairly even rotating roster
Team culture was strong in my department - we were all great friends
Mantra will invest a lot in your career if you put in the work
Cons
Manning can be a little tight in different departments as wage costs are watched and scrutinized extremely closely
Mantra pays per the award, so pay is in line with "average". Other chains do pay slightly higher when on a salary.
