Pros

Location Gym membership HR were ok Canteen staff were friendly Magazines

Cons

Everything The systems they use are very old, possibly 15 - 20 years old, a simple job in another company becomes a huge manual task. The people are not from a diverse pool, lacked real experience and are unable to think outside of their small box. The manager I had was like a 3 year old with ADHD, he screamed and bounced around the office over Hannah Montana merchandise. Senior management reminded me of the police department in Money Mississippi 1954, but I was not surprised. The office was filthy, no cleaners were assigned for the office floor so rotting food in the fridge was normal. The kettle (shared between 30+) was a health hazard, there were no water machines just vending machines. Everyone hated it and were scared when RD came in to the office on his impromptu visits due to rumours that he fired people for having a food item on their desks. Facebook was allowed but not hotmail.
