Pros

You get paid Monthly but they pay is very poor

Cons

No progression, No product training. Expenses never get paid theres always some excuse why they wont pay you. No progression unless you are best friends with management and work all hours. Poor communication skills from line managers. There is always some kind of emergency job that keeps you getting home on time. No work life balance. In all a very poor company to work for and they do not pay that well.

Large scale projects, lots of cliques though

Pros

Large scale projects Never had a problem getting training courses or exams paid for by the business

Cons

Pay is average and very little that is unique compensation wise. Every employer offers a discount app, pension contributions are low (6% employer) Certain teams are given preferential treatment. Particular department has known about office closures best part of 12 months before anyone else. If you're not part of that team then your concerns aren't listened to

Pros

Always looking to promote from within. Diverse projects keeping work engaging Good attitude towards training from management

Cons

The way information is passed from "back office" to field staff is terrible, often left searching through reams of documents. Very often waiting till the last minute for work information even though jobs are booked often weeks in advance, makes maintaining work life balance very difficult as travel time is never factored into work time. Welfare standards for remote workers is non existent.
