Pros

Good Salary offered to staff and Pension Scheme is also very good with flexibility to tailor to your choice. Food options in Canteen also good.

Cons

Outdated Processes so you are constantly under pressure with workload. structure is poor and senior managers haven't taken responsibility for this and this led to Constant infighting.

Pros

Generally nice team Lots of opportunities for progression No 2 days are the same Staff canteen with lots to choose from Flexible start finish time

Cons

Processes are convoluted and not conducive to being productive Them and us management style Highly critical although I know some managers are better than others (I just wasn't lucky) Collegues can be under so much time pressure that they do not cooperate or work as a team because they're trying to keep their head above the water A few rude people Challenged constantly by OpCos
