Pros

Salary & Bonus Scheme Friendly environment Free parking Free tea and coffee Shift patterns are not too bad, latest is 8pm and no Sundays.

Cons

Not a serious con but breaks and lunches are monitored to the minute and additional comfort breaks can some times lead to conversations with management. (Especially with agency staff) Long serving colleagues take full advantage of sick pay and work the system so they're not reprimanded for this where as for agency staff it is very easy to hit a trigger when off sick. Again not specifically a con but longer serving colleagues make demands on seating, desking and special equipment. This is important for those who need it and is easy accessible for those who do but it's widely taken advantage of. There's been minimal progression opportunities.

Pros

- Good pension. - A range of benefits are available to purchase e.g. buy up to 5 days annual leave - Depending on the team in which you work, you can choose your shift (9am-5pm, 8:30am-4pm or 8am-4pm).

Cons

- Too many managers. - Some teams are treated more favorably than others. - You'll only advance up the competency ladder (how you get your pay rises) if your face fits. - The competency ladder is not a measure of how well you are able to do your job but rather, how well you are able to detail how great you are on paper. - Terrible systems. - Employees constantly have to record everything that they are doing - this is a huge waste of time. - Employees are constantly threatened with being placed on performance plans. Not completing your competency ladder? Performance plan for you. Been off on long term sick due to serious illness? Performance plan for you. Been to the toilet one too many times? Performance plan for you too! - Operational excellence is a joke and is again, a massive waste of time. - Managers don't actually know what their team does. Staff members would have far more respect for management if they understood the work undertaken by the team and were able to pull their sleeves up and get their hands dirty now and again when required.
