Pros
I can't think of any.
Cons
NBC took over the RAF bird control contracts in 2017 for a period of three years with a two extension if the RAF were agreeable. The problems start at the top, the company has no idea whatsoever on how these military contracts run. They have irreparably damaged NBC's prospects of expanding into other contracts by running the eastern region so undermanned and financially tight that they lost both the Scottish and Vale Of York tenders despite the fact they were the cheapest bid. From the second NBC took over the RAF BCU contract they have pushed experienced operators out and haven't replaced them to save money without knowing how the contract actually run and what dangers they have allowed to creep in through a lack of manning and correct training. They've had two experienced regional managers resign in ten months. They've pushed annualised hour contracts onto staff who have been on the bases happily in some cases for twenty years which has lead to staff leaving. They have employed a number of civilian staff members as roving cover, this doesn't work as they don't have enough experience on any one base to do the job properly this is a very dangerous scheme which could and will endanger the lives of pilots, These employees have subsequently left. The region has gone from having a number of experienced bird control operators on the airfields to losing members of staff from every single base on the six bases that NBC cover. Any staff member that has dared to offer constructive advice has been met with disrespect from NBC despite the advice being offered to actually help the company it is seen as non workable as it would cost money which isn't possible due to NBC putting in a tender offer that was so low that they won the region but they can't profitably operate the region and so they are making cuts as and where they can which creates a number of problems which NBC patch up as they go along
