Pros

The salary for shift workers are very good and comparable with a lot of professional people. The pension scheme is still excellent. They are investing money in the infrastructure to bring it up to date and do really good work with the Samaritans and other charities.

Cons

The new infrastructure will require less people to work so that will envitably mean more redundancies. Training seems to be for a chosen few.
