Stressful and weak leadership
There were some very good people who work for Western, but senior management is very disorganized and have unrealistic expectations of people. If you are looking for a long term career, I would look elsewhere. I wish I would have known this before uprooting my family and moving to the island.
ProsIsland was nice.
ConsLong hours, very stressful.
