Pros
I've met some fantastic people. Sick pay. Free food in canteen. Best thing is not having to work in London. Regular overtime. Christmas bonus. If you can get in with the right people you can go further. Medical care if you are management.
Cons
I've met some awful people. Bullying. Sexism. Favouritism. Definitely a boy's club that is hard to access if you are female. Not everyone is given the same opportunities as those who are best friends with management. Safety restrictions during covid were a bit of a joke and we were put unnecessarily at risk during lockdowns. No opportunities or flexibility for women following maternity leave, particularly part time opportunities, most women leave or are forced to return full time. No health benefits. Toxic work environment is encouraged with stepping on colleagues and snitching rewarded. If you have no moral compass you'll fit in fine!
