Pros
Interesting jobs in an industry where it's hard to find one
Cons
- Terrible communication within the company. We are given very little warning of changes happening. - Our team is often forgotten about within the company, despite being a vital factor in the main stream of revenue of Archant. - There is virtually no room for career progression. - Salaries are frozen and have had max 3 pay rises in 10 years, which is nowhere near keeping up with the inflation. I am still in the lowest end of the salary range given to me when I started 2.5 years ago. There are pay differences for the same job based on when we were hired (anyone hired in the last few years earn less). - There are no rewards for loyalty in the company (except one extra day of holiday a year every 5 years), and anyone can at any time be cast aside and given a different job role. - A lot of pressure and responsibility are put on the employees and we are expected to work late regularly, and this is not reflected in our pay (not even offered overtime pay). - Big changes in the company have happened in the last few months, and our job roles have suddenly changed drastically. Most of us are very unhappy about these changes. No one was given any choice in this matter, and barely any warning before changes were implemented.
