      Abusive employer

      Pros

      Timely salary release. But the HR department is seriously lagging. They just concentrate on PR department so the company's image is maintained.

      Cons

      Upper management abuses their power and treats employees like trash.

      Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm disappointed that you've had such a poor experience and sorry to hear that you believe our HR department isn't delivering to your standards. I'd welcome the chance to connect and discuss further. If you've got specific suggestions that would be great to understand, or areas in general where you feel we or I can do better, I would love to hear. Thank you again for caring enough to take the time to do this. Best wishes in the future. -zoe
