Pros
Good pay. Some flexibility. My team was lovely but cannot be said about all.
Cons
I have never met an HR/ payroll team who lack as much empathy as this one for the UK payroll does. I have had countless run ins with them where they have been absolutely useless, not sending letters for details that I quite clearly need (when sick pay might run out, when I left outlining final pay). They don’t bother to reply for days or even a week or 2 and when they do it is usually the most useless drivel. The final nail in the coffin is they underpaid me in my final pay - I requested my payslip ahead of payday to not get it for over a week as they kept telling me it would be available in the portal (which is only accessible by employees!). Now 3 weeks later after stressful back and forth they are telling me I need to wait an extra week for my underpayment that was their fault even though they had told me a manual payment would be processed. No care, empathy or desire to help whatsoever.
