Pros

People are mostly very friendly, holiday allowance is very generous, flexible working hours, easy to park. You are able to learn new things and.gain new skills.

Cons

CEO is almost idolised, although he seems to do very little to improve the company culture and employee satisfaction. No facility expenses are put into the company such as washing up liquid, milk, coffee. If you do venture to the staff canteen, it is extremely expensive, poor service and very low in quality. The company structure is a shambles, with numerous office buildings separating staff, you cannot expect to get an understanding of other areas of the business. Unless you have been there for centuries, which many of the staff have been, no exaggeration. Due to a lack of.understanding of how the structure is and is not working, restructuring is a regular occurrence. Directors are swarming the company with little respect to those who work very hard, and with more thought about their own pockets than the progression of the company. Due to long timers in the business and an average age of close to or past retirement age, salaries are unevenly distributed and below industry standard. Younger employees hang around with hope for improvement or a lack of experience in an average professional working environment. Most office buildings and technology are falling apart. The IT department mostly hate helping staff with any queries. You may as well use a pen and paper and read some books for reseach.
