Pros

Some of the nicest people I've ever worked with

Cons

"Face fits" culture, immense pressure to be seen to work whilst managers cover themselves and don't care a jot about their staff. Colleagues have to look out for themselves as managers do not care unless their staff are 'popular'. Bullying and intimidating attitudes towards sick time and illness- a real 'presenteeism' culture.

Pros

What pros... You get paid every month, that is the only pro.

Cons

Far to many cons to list, they discriminate against any sort of health need you may have, absolute bullies, if your face doesn't fit you get no where. 80% of the team leaders have absolutely no skills with their team members let alone their actual job. Staff do nothing but talk about each other behind their backs. I won't work back here if you doubled my wages! The CEO is a yes man! Does nothing to boost moral with the staff, or the company.
