Pros

Offering a competitive salary is where the good concludes.

Cons

Under the leadership of an individual in a challenging work environment, there is a notable toxicity that extends to the upper echelons, including the Managing Director. This situation often entails extended working hours without commensurate compensation. Vulgar language is often used . Additionally, there is a preference for external candidates in terms of career progression, even though internal employees are frequently tasked with the responsibility of extensively mentoring these newcomers within the industry, a process that can be time-consuming and lacks adequate recognition.

Pros

Great career over a decade whilst working there. Under the regime of Phil Bentley (former MD), there was excellent growth, and that provided progression.. Good pension scheme, excellent company car options, healthcare plan, great colleagues

Cons

Current culture of disregard for staff, cost cutting without thinking of actual consequence.. Current morale is very low at all levels including managerial. Too much bureaucracy and internal politics, with processes created for the sake of them being there, and no actual benefit.. Input seems to be taken away from management team too.. Salary lower than competition, Manager bonus scheme seems to become harder to achieve in an attempt to cut costs
