    Not the best but it's tough out there
    The good thingsCentral office location - easy access to public transport, cafes, and other city amenities. Great work mates – collaborative, supportive, and enjoyable team environment. Free public transport.
    The challengesLimited career progression. Few opportunities for current employees to advance. Since the new franchise took over, there's been a noticeable increase in favouritism and perceived nepotism, which has impacted current team morale and fairness in opportunities. Salary is not the best in the industry.
