Good place to work

Pros

There is a good sense of community within the company. It is a happy place to work and People are willing to work hard to got out their way to help you.

Cons

There is a real sense of holding people back and not allowing for personal progression. Money saving is heavy on the agenda and products leaving site to be produced in cheaper countries gives an impression of the site shrinking.

Good but could be great

Pros

Great products and marketplace. Lots of opportunities for staff, but these are not always promoted very well internally. Provides great opportunities for those happy to relocate to Hull, but not very open to flexible working practices.

Cons

Would be better if there was more visible accountability from management. Some exceptional leaders, but often newer recruits leave within a short period of time due to legacy culture issues. So many change programmes but they are not necessarily cohesive or well thought through

Pros

Good work/life balance. Good people who want to help one another. Good opportunities for growth and open career discussions.

Cons

Mid management can loose sight of reality and get their heads lost in marketing and sales meetings. The people on the ground are the closest to the reality of the market and that should be fed through more. Some (marketing) managers get away with doing nothing at all.
