Pros

You can always leave just as quickly as you enter. Tea and coffee is free. With the current managers in place, the business will fold long before they get anywhere near their current "Vision 2020" meaning no one will have to suffer the misfortune of ever being a Kier employee ever again.

Cons

Honestly, one of the worst managed companies you could ever wish to avoid! IT systems are horrible/antiquated. They are aware of this and they are choosing to do nothing more than paper over the cracks. Money is not good "It's not what you know, but who you know" has never been more true than it is working for these lot. If you were to watch all 37 years worth of episodes of Question Time, back to back, you would still hear less lies than you are likely to be spoon fed here over the course of say...12 months. So many SOPS, so few people actually adhering to any of them. People just do what they want, regardless of how it effects others within the business and it feels like Mad Max levels of chaos at times, only nowhere near as cool.

Pros

Visible and accessible strong leadership from senior management. Excellent development and engagement to make you feel valued and rewarded. Great employee benefits such as pensions, sharesaves and discount schemes

Cons

None, except the industry as a whole finds it difficult to attract people to a very enjoyable construction and infrastructure market sector
