Pros

Depending on your luck, you might get a decent manager in the bunker. Unless you get an ex-prison team lead that still thinks the Arc Bunker is the prison he's guarding... Other staff doing the same job as you are all fantastic, but unfortunately, stuck in the same boat with terrible management.

Cons

Management has 0 communication, gatekeeping all changes and making mad decisions that effect everyone except themselves. Need to give 28 days notice for AL but the company will give you 3 days notice of changes they've made to your shifts without asking you. Got health issues? Good luck with that, recommended by Occupational Health to do reduced hours, told by the head of the department "we don't do that anymore" while she herself was on 4-day workweeks. Got asked several times in a meeting "What other health conditions do you have", "Are you sure there are no other health conditions", "is there anything your not telling us about your health conditions". Management is pushy, borderline aggressive and has 0 people skills. Every single team is always short-staffed, and you will be regularly be asked to work 12-18 hour shifts to cover the next team, even though every single bank holiday I worked we were short-staffed and got 0 help. Had to leave an hour and a half early, the manager grilled me on why (family emergency that I explained) then eventually said okay fine, like a huffy child that hasn't got to say no and boost his ego. The next day came in to the little manlet cornering me in the small workspace and telling me how the hour early shouldn't have been authorised and it won't again. There's that ego. Handed my notice in, got 0 response from management, not even an acknowledgement of resignation - just got removed from chats and emails blocked the same day. No bother, didn't even want to say good working with you to my colleagues. For anyone looking to apply, as every team is always short-staffed, they are looking to swap to a 12-hour shift, over 4 days, with 2 night shifts always on the last 2 days. So good luck trying to get any sort of social life, sleeping pattern or routine as every single week is going to be a complete guess to what you're doing.

Pros

Flex is quite high, nice teams, friendly people

Cons

New ceo is a bully., aggressive and mildly talented person. Hasn't mastered the art of people at all, as it's been written here before, the blind trust the investors have in him is severely misplaced. They are advertising for a senior HR person, and he will make their life an absolute misery until they leave, like they all have. This is a company that will lose money or get rid of their CEO and bring someone in who can do better, I thought private equity were meant to be sharp.
