I am retired but when I was working, I was very happy because there was very good and friendly atmosphere. We worked as a team. Management was supportive and encouraging. We were rewarded for good work and dedication. Now I am retired therefore, no company support through COVID-19 lockdown because it is not their responsibility.

Dislikes

I cannot think of any bad thing about the company.
