Pros

Some really nice and knowledgable colleagues, flexible working options, season loan ticket

Cons

Disgusting toilets, no stationary, really bad working environment, semi dreadful lifts, too much passing the buck, lack of lockers, russian roulette seating arrangements. Recently a really hardworking colleague told me what they were on salary wise...compared to what they could get elsewhere for the exact same job at other councils. Considering how long they've been there...I was thoroughly disgusted and saddened at hearing such a thing.

Pros

Good employee holiday, pension etc.

Cons

Seems to be inefficient, people in HR etc don't seem to want to help, lots of passing the buck, people not doing things or replying to others. No team effort mentality. Uninspiring place to work with low staff motivation.
