Pros

Eventually you get paid - after several months of cock-ups and errors.

Cons

Awful management structure, rewarding bullying behaviour and aggressive micromanagement. No pay progression, so with woefully bad annual increases below inflation you get paid less each year to do more. Managers have favourites and if you're not one of them expect to get the worst tasks and the harshest reviews. Absolutely no back-up from management in difficult situations as they take the side of the complainant. If I could give this job no stars I would.

Pros

Good salary and pension scheme

Cons

-Bullying from senior members of staff, especially sad for the employees who couldn't stand up for themselves. -Draining and tiresome working hours arrangement. -Don't consider that humans have other lives and expect lives to revolve around work needs. -Unjust and contradictory practices to keep queues down.
