Pros

Lots more opportunity to shape and define my teams mutual objectives than in any other role I've worked before Great people to work alongside - a big family unit Clear career paths, regular 121's with conversations about next 12 months-5 years Amazing on-site facilities

Cons

None so far - I'm among people who are always teaching me more in a busy environment where I'm thriving in my career more than ever!

Pros

Above average salary can be expected to try and weigh out the cons, but it isn't worth it

Cons

Numbers driven company that looks great from the outside but its hell on the inside, avoid at all costs. Set hours set holidays and if you leave on time it's classed as early. They sign out machines before they're ready to hit financial targets regardless of anything so senior managers get their bonuses. Training never given and HR weren't even interested in leaving interviews anymore because of the high rate of people leaving. The worst company I've ever worked for without a doubt. Operationally they are built on a culture of bullying and alot of people are off with stress from operators to management. Do yourself a favour and look else where if you value having a life.
