Pros

Sick pay and pension are pretty good

Cons

Where do you start ! Management from top to bottom promoted to their level of incompetence. Parent company ripped all the money out of the company in the past, now all the assets are falling apart . Now getting pressure from OFWAT about their illegal dumping of sewage into rivers and their terrible financial state. Thousands of staff members working in offices , virtually nobody working in the field. Worked through COVID whilst all the office staff were at home , rewarded with company trying to change all the terms and conditions and reduce pay. Ridiculous procurement processes means approved suppliers and contractors are constantly ripping the company off. All procedures need updating , trying to get anything done is like pulling teeth

Pros

The benefits from company are good such as pay, sick pay, pension and maternity.

Cons

The micro managing is horrendous. Leaders and managers judge you and don’t do anything. Honestly no wonder high turnover and high sickness. Also progression quite difficult maybe in customer department others might be better. And also HE don’t allow you to move within unless you work for 2 years in that role even if it mentally bad for you. If not working in YW is not bad other departments are better.
