Pros

Lots of learning opportunities, good for people early in their careers Plenty of scope to move around the business Great people, great middle management

Cons

The biggest con is the complete lack of flexibility and general lack of trust from leadership, meaning no flexibility The CEO recently said at a business review, “if you want work / life balance, this isn’t the business for you” which says a lot. The offices are uninspiring and in the middle of no where with not much to do other than walk around the lake. Salaried staff are required to clock in and out every day, with lunch breaks taken at the same time by everyone everyday. Staff kitchen is also completely unsubsidised which is disappointing considering all staff are on site 5x a week

Pros

Pay is good for the area.

Cons

Senior Management are stuck in the 1980's. Clocking in and out for all staff, no flexibility at all.
