Great opportunities for progression, but salaries and loyalty quite poor

Anonymous employee

Pros

Training budgets Great perks Great opportunities for progression, although it can take much longer than you would hope Some fantastic people

Cons

Being a big corp its expected at some level, but there is no real loyalty at LOR. A reshuffle can see you lose a 10 year job with no real regard for what you have contributed to the company. Pay is quite poor, with very small increases and the power to change this is only from the very top - you certainly have to move company to get in to the top wage brackets

Pros

Company car, travelcard if site-based, pension, trainings provided straightforward. Good work atmosphere and flexible work-life balance.

Cons

The only con is not about the company but construction sector itself. One project finishes in one location and have to move to a different one...
