Pros
There are no pros when working for Go Ahead or its subsiduaries
Cons
I am going to list a few 'highlights' and let you make up your own decision. - I witnessed sexual harassment to an interviewee - I witnessed jovial point-scoring for managers who fired the most drivers - I witnessed abuse of other employees who were shouted at and sworn at, the 'c' word included which was endorsed by a director. - I witnessed abuse of a trans member of staff behind their back - I was part of a culture that discouraged valid expense claims (when I started on a starting salary of £18k, so it wasn't as if I was comfortable). - I was part of a culture that would encourage you to work for nothing in your free time - evenings, weekends etc (I was even called whilst on leave!) - I was part of a culture that discouraged you to take any leave - annual or otherwise. You would regularly end the year with surplus leave that just disappeared. - I witnessed a discussion about how a pregnant lady could be fired because of having morning sickness - I was part of a culture with zero regard for yours or others' health and safety - I witnessed a general manager launder cash - I was part of a culture where if your face didn't fit they would go on a fishing trip to find something against you and if they didn't find anything they would set you up to fail - I witnessed someone being disciplined over something he had clear authorisation to do the accused thing (no action taken subsequently). - A senior manager at an operating company was fired for mis-accounting - I was asked to fire certain members of staff by senior management, regardless of my opinion and regardless of any defence that that member of staff could have presented. - I witnessed TUPE discussions that were based on the staffs' like/dislike by others I worked in four different operating companies and found them all to be the same. Everything I have said is true and I hope this can stop others going anywhere near this company. For 4 years I had zero progression in a very poorly paid job where few people respected each other. The best thing I did was leave. Get out now if you can!
