Pros

Creating a safe space for people to plan their loved one’s funeral and being their for them during a very difficult time.

Cons

Poor leadership, micromanaging, very limited career progression. Outdated practices and any recommendations or ideas are seen a challenging behaviour. Dangle a lot of carrots, promise a lot of opportunities that never eventuate.

Pros

If you are in the clique - you are great, The submissive conditioning is next level. You get a very minimal discount for certain family members dying. You also get your birthday off - after 12 months of employment.

Cons

If you have any health problems or anything personal happen and it might ever affect work - this is not the place for you if you run out of leave. I had the displeasure of watching multiple people being bullied through "circumstantial" work flows created by mid level managers as a form of punishment for you not falling in line or doing as you are told and always disguised as best for the customer. You will be supported at face value and is heavily dependant on how much you carry your manager. Please do not work here, your wellbeing is worth so much more than a baseline award pay check that you need to feel rewarded about receiving.
