Pros
- Good range of food at the canteen - Pay (for myself) is among the industry average - Investing in a new office (much needed) - Employees are passionate about the brand
Cons
- Never have I worked in an office with as much political drama as Scania GB - For a relatively small HQ implementing change is extremely difficult, many hoops to jump/red tape - Average length of service has resulted in institutionalised staff who are resistant to what is standard industry practice from being implemented - Bullying amongst management seems to be accepted, I have witnessed a manager shout down an employee resulting in tears - IT infrastructure is around 20 years where it needs to be today's market place - Senior management seem content with 'not rocking the boat' given that the company has a steady profit margin (much can be improved but overlooked/ignored) - Staff progression/promotion within the company is minimal - Some staff still working a 8-6 shift with only 45 mins break
