    Woeful. I did not enjoy my time working here and would not recommend it to anyone.
    The good thingsSome great staff to work with but unfortunately they dont last due to poor management and working conditions.
    The challengesExceptionally High staff turnover due to poor or lack of management and direction. Good Staff move on quickly. Which has resulted in a lack of long term knowledge and understanding, the balance of power and self importance is extremely out of wack.
