Pros

Generally interesting work. Wide variety of career paths and plenty of opportunity to move between different areas of business should you wish to. Although notably eroded over the last decade or so, pay and benefits are still competitive. Company has a commendably positive attitude toward health and safety.

Cons

The aforementioned gradual erosion of pay, benefits and conditions. Implementation of "performance related pay" has been a disaster; it's been (incorrectly) used as a penny-pinching tool rather than as an incentive. HR are becoming more and more aggressive in their practises. Latest initiative is "performance excellence", brought in at huge cost both in consultancy from Unipart and in working time diverted away from core tasks.

Pros

Literally a family. Full of father and son duos and many many employees with 20+ years at the company. Pay is fantastic starting out and contractual raises and overtime makes this job just about the best you can get right out of college

Cons

Early morning start times can be a pain with Long Island traffic
