Pros

Decent pay, good share schemes, flexible working (although depends on location and manager), generally competent and well trained colleagues. The work life balance is generally good also as is the pension scheme.

Cons

Forever cutting budgets, staff perks, and remuneration packages. UK management have very limited power as all important decisions are made by parent company iberdrola. Morale amongst staff across businesses in recent years has varied from low to non-existent due to numerous restructures and large site closures. This has meant limited opportunity for career progression in some parts of the business.

Pros

Salaries match or exceed market rate, great benefits, excellent pension scheme, flexible working arrangements available.

Cons

SP are owned by a Spanish company, Iberdrola, and this can make decision making a long frustrating process. Nothing can be done without approval from Iberdrola.
