Pros

Locality. Not many big businesses operate in County Durham so some specialist roles that aren't often found here. Package isn't bad compared to similar roles in the area but they will try and get you cheap and keep it that way.

Cons

All major departments are headed by new people, none of whom have taken the time to understand the business but just want to make their own mark. Usually in the opposite direction to anyone else. Sales targets haven't been hit in months and the best sales people are leaving all the time.

Pros

Pays the bills, Good BDM team.

Cons

Where to start….. Useless management. New business Team (order takers) get all the praise whilst the Account Managers do all the work. Commission structure is always tailored to New business. Paid in arrears and is always wrong, lucky if you do manage to sort it. Senior management are a waste of time, take it or leave it. Lost load of good people because of this attitude. No career progression, ones that do get promoted into seniors end up redundant. This seems to be a trend same thing every few years.
