Pros

Onsite area to eat lunch but no canteen Near to local shops

Cons

Recruitment process is long winded and no proper assessment matrix put in place to assess new and existing talent correctly Pride themselves on health and safety, yet fire evacuations are a shamble, propping doors open with fire extinguishers and all sorts Yearly appraisals not taken seriously, no bonus or incentives Expected to work long hours and be contactable via telephone all the time High turn over of staff people are always looking and demotivated A lot of the leadership have been there a long time and set in their ways. Awful off site parking 5 minutes walk away up a big mud hill but heads of departments get onsite parking. Awful traffic when getting into the car parks, you need to allow 10 minutes to que to get in.

Pros

Little to recommend. Employees and customers treated badly

Cons

Senior management team out for themselves. Will throw anyone under the bus, driving a blame culture. Huge staff turnover problems as people can't stand working there. Avoid!
