Pros

Hybrid working. Very pleassant work mates.

Cons

No flexible working options. Low pay for high volume of work. Be sick more than two occasions in 12 months means you get a verbal warning, and they take your bonuses. Meaning one more day sick in 6 months leads to a written warning. You can work there for 6 years having not had one day off sick and get punished unfairly for one year where you were very poorly three times. A man who was vomiting and the office and sent home was then given a warning for being poorly! Upper management adopt a bullying attitude and this seeps down the chain.

Pros

The company stands by its work and offered a free follow-up visit (or guarantee period) to ensure the problem was fully solved.

Cons

The initial treatment did not fully resolve the pest problem, requiring a follow-up that should have been unnecessary.
