Pros

They have some great benefits here, but that’s about it.

Cons

The staff don’t have a clue what they are doing, and hire people without training them. Then being confused when they don’t know how to complete a task properly because they have not been trained. Managers will talk bad about their own team to other members of the team, and then when you raise it to a higher up, they say there’s no way they would have said that. I can’t believe how awful they treat their staff here, and get away with it. The older staff form a team and bully the younger staff. My mental health was suffering so much I lost hair and weight in 3 months, and my manager said “you can’t cope with a job like this” instead of showing any ounce of concern! Poor training, poor management, toxic culture.

Pros

Killing people by accident is a big responsibility to take....but the remuneration for Signallers reflects this

Cons

Safety takes a backseat to performance at every opportunity. Management grades have little experience, as the pay structure means those with the most experience and knowledge stay in the Signalling Grades. Led by the blind and incompetent
