Productive and fun work place

Hungry lion is the place to be it's a productive and fun work place to work it's always a pleasure to come into a work place where you feel at home and worthy the staff plus management is well trained and mannered the only thing is that I feel they can give free lunch to staff because not all of us have that to have food every day therefore you can't work on an empty stomach and if they give food they will bring out the best out of happy staff members

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Just right

A very toxic work environment.

They unfotunately have a very toxic work envirinment. Completely risk averse and unfortunately the fish rots from the top. They are prepared to keep copying and pasting as thry have previously done. They do not completely understand the role of marketing or public relations and how it can benefit their business....

Pros

None

Cons

No room to create grow or explore. Too risk averse.
