Pros

The staff are friendly and are willing to teach. The manager takes time to listen to your concerns and this encourages employee contributions.

Cons

Training could be longer and more comprehensive. I had to learn almost everything on the job.

Pros

None at the moment, but it was once a decent place to work.

Cons

No time to get your work done Letting your customers down because you have no time to deal with their requests Doing everyone else's work but your own (how is that for moral?) Huge case loads Feeling like the managers are doing you a 'favour' by granting you time off the phone Staying late to get things done (unpaid) Incompetent Business Managers who are completely out of touch with the job their staff do Incompetent Team Managers who do next to nothing Poor pay for the job we do (the work of maybe 5 different professions) Near impossible Pay Progression structure Experienced staff leaving and being replaced by temps Colleagues having emotional breakdowns

Pros

Great people very flexible in terms of time, especially if you have kids For IT mostly located in York and Norwich which are small wonderful cities with great quality of life Changing rapidly into Agile environment

Cons

Might mean a bit of travel between Norwich/York and London. Career path is very bad for IT Lack of training Slow to change Very political and hard to get things done
