Pros
Going home on a Friday & being told you don’t have to work an unpaid weekend shift.
Cons
Worked for this company for over a year and can honestly say I’ve never met as many narrow minded people in all my life. Firstly, projects are under-resourced. Relying heavily on uni placement students to do most of the ground work on the sites - they ultimately make mistakes but still get a full on verbal assault from management. You go to the head office and walk by one of the ‘Directors’? Don’t waste your breath or time smiling or saying hello, they won’t acknowledge you. Are you a Female in a Construction/Engineering profession? Stay well clear, you’ll be an assistant to your Male colleagues for eternity. Completely outdated IT department and ran by dinosaurs, so any bright young IT graduates are told to like it or lump it. In this ‘Family run business’ you will be looked down upon by members of this ‘Family’. The sons and daughter colleagues you work with aren’t your friends. They’re already on more £ than you and will be managing you after a few years. In the office environment, if you’re not working in silence, you’re not working at all. Want a pay rise? Lol Some of this might sound petty, but my current company has opened my eyes to what a family run business can and should be. FP McCann is a world away from that.
