Pros
Job security, bathrooms and water cooler. The management is mostly clear with expectations and offers training opportunities and will respond to concerns about asbestos
Cons
smelly nylon, gross food at canteen on site, and no windows, built in 1950s with asbestos but cannot remove because it’s 6 acres under roof.

Pros
The pros seem almost innumerable. Smart and dedicated people who really believe in the future of the business. Lots of legacy employees that have been with the company for 20+ years and have a wealth of knowledge to share. Opportunities to work on a wide range of project and never really get bored. But perhaps more importantly, seeing a culture of respect and strong values come to life every single day may be the best part of the job. Most companies forget their values as soon as the ink is dry. This is not the case here. Respect, humility, and value creation are at the core of every decision.
Cons
Sometimes slow to make decisions. The company can also look at employment trends such as remote work and try to embrace them a little more. Half of the people in the office are remote on any given day due to travel and various office locations anyway so The culture of dialing in for a call is alive and well.
Advice to Management
Please keep up the good work. Continue to foster a culture that allows new comers to feel valued and not as the enemy. Equally important - please continue to cultivate a culture that allows legacy employees to grow in their roles, even when they are 20+ years in. That wealth of knowledge can’t be replaced by any technology in the world.
