      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home options, generally flexible, good people and friendly.

      Cons

      The Glasgow Waterloo street office is like a big call centre its too noisy and busy. Overworked staff and no replacements for staff who leave, remaining staff expected to pick up the slack with no reward or appreciation. Cost cutting ongoing no travel allowed with job losses looming due to the down turn in the renewables industry, not a nice atmosphere due to this. Managers interpret rules differently depending on whether they like you or not. Limited options for promotion. Pay generally lower than others.
