Pros

A worldwide recognised brand Other than that no other benefits to working for the BBC as pay is average, benefits are average

Cons

Clueless management working within HR with no HR knowledge Progression based on who your sleeping with or how much your prepared to be a brown nose Too many layers of management a team of 13 will have 3 lead advisors and 1 team manager. Managers spend most days in and out of meetings having meetings about meetings. Roles are simplified in such a way that the job is boring and repetitive. Data entry/ customer service not HR. No real salary grades and they don't actually check references so you can lie about previous earnings in order to earn a higher salary and if you don't give references doesn't matter as they are not chased after a certain time scale. Training is minimal and any training given is of poor quality as the trainer basically reads off slides that could of just been forwarded via email. Not family friendly Unapproachable management
