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

Flexible working AKA doing as little as possible and getting paid for it You can get away with doing nothing

Cons

Its a business run by men predominantly and by people who stay because they dont have talent to take anywhere Its very cliquey and new people are not easily accepted. If you want to join a company and have a really hard time and possibly be bullied - then go here Management have no management or leadership skills
