    The good thingsThey organise lunch vans and vending machine since the office is slightly rural
    The challengesUpper management are terrible communicators, verbally aggressive and are all in competition with each other to become the most powerful person in the business. This often has negative repercussions for other staff members. Creating a terrible and unnerving culture.
