Pros

KFC is only over the road. Sadly not much else

Cons

Blame culture. If your face fits. Micro management. Recent redundancies has destroyed morale and the already lacking atmosphere is now non existent. Remaining staff are ALL looking elsewhere for work. Management is very much an us and them divide, many of which have let their egos take over in recent times. Lack of communication. Completely unrewarding annual reviews that are quite clearly predetermined outcomes, 'your say' will have zero impact on the outcome.

Pros

Exposure to large, high-value accounts and complex operational challenges. The role builds resilience quickly and provides strong experience in account management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. There is a high level of ownership in day-to-day responsibilities, which can accelerate skill development for those who are self-driven.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Apollo, the work environment has noticeably declined. While new processes were introduced, leadership often did not take the time to fully understand or follow them, creating confusion and inconsistency across teams. Employees who raised questions or tried to improve processes were not always received positively, which discouraged feedback and innovation. There is also a lack of alignment between departments, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and added pressure on employees managing critical accounts. Workloads are frequently excessive without adequate support, contributing to burnout and turnover. Compensation does not consistently reflect the level of responsibility and workload expected, which further impacts morale and retention. Overall, the organization feels reactive rather than structured, and direction has become increasingly unclear.
