• You hate learning new things. We’re constantly learning and trying new things; we understand this might not be your thing and that’s OK.
• You don’t like writing clearly. We are training and publishing company and writing clearly helps reduce miscommunication; we understand if this isn’t your style.

• Consistent workload
