Pros

Good work-life balance. Good employees. Stable profitable company. Short probation period (6 months). Decent bonus scheme.

Cons

Salary below market value causing resentment and constant staff turnover. Poor support functions, centralised so slow, impersonal and generally hard to get help (IT, HR etc.). Training system is awful and training courses are few and far between and hard to find out about or attend, significantly hampering personal development, service improvement as well as statutory training responsibilities. Just ordering essential equipment for work responsibilities is difficult and drawn out. Management are sometimes detached and spout company values yet don't apply them to themselves. Career development is extremely poor and unsupported, definitely not a meritocracy, a lot more workplace politics across the organisation than other companies. Widespread corruption; employees expected to put up and shut up yet don't gain anything except a risk to professional reputation.

Pros

Some support functions staff very helpful and willing to listen.

Cons

A lot of company polities which does make it difficult to support managers in making the right decision on certain matters. A lot of work carried out and catch up on own time- no appreciation from the right people.
