Pros

Programme of Transformation across the whole organisation Tons of investment Really capable people Can do attitude Rebranding of OpCos Retail leader

Pros

The majority of the people are great. A nice building to work in at Southampton. Free Parking.

Cons

Management lack direction, not willing to mentor staff, not willing to support staff through difficult times, the business varies between the various OpCo's, wanting One Kingfisher but this is a deluded vision.

Pros

International, diversity, this company used to care people, treasure hard working staffs, clear directions, clear objectives, staffs feel like moving forward with company, but no more now.

Cons

Top management not willing to take responsibilities. Big ambition, but company is a mess, conflicts between departments. Do not accept different voices. Directors just sit and do nothing. Poor management on contract review.
