    Nov 2018
    Disappointing in this day and age that this company has not progressed since I worked for them 10 years ago, management and systems are all stuck in 2008
    The good thingsSome of the team tried and I take my hat off to them. Unfortunately good people left for the same reason as me.
    The challengesLittle if any support. Head office very quick to judge and criticize without offering or assisting with long term corporate level solutions. Very much a \"get it done cheap and get out\" mentality,
