    You are just a number...
    The good thingsThe team itself was amazing, loved the girls I worked with.
    The challengeshowever HR / Payroll are hopeless. Takes 4 months for them to respond to emails to provide documentation. You cannot ring them because they never answer? And they cannot even take accountability for the fact it took 4 months to provide a " Separation Certificate" Multiple phone calls and emails that they IGNORED. Terrible service and pathetic timeframes to complete their own workload.
