Pros
- great benefits - family style team - training budget to be spent on courses you’re interested in. Great for expanding skills - trader community can be lovely and the KERB vault is invaluable
Cons
- a few characters that have their own agenda and can make peoples lives a bit miserable - progression is VERY slow. Don’t expect to get a pay rise very often or be paid industry standard!! - a lot of carrot dangling for promised promotions and not much follow through - very poor handling of furloughing staff during the pandemic. The company got rid of everyone (people that actually do the work) and kept the senior management, the most highly paid people! Then were surprised that they didn’t know how things worked... - Redundancies, firing people, HR issues etc were often informally talked about at the pub with other members of the company, before the issue had been resolved with the person in question. Don’t be surprised when people get upset about it! The family element can sometimes be difficult with setting boundaries. - you’ll get sucked in and it’s great and fun, but sometimes there’s an unspoken expectation that unless you’re working all the hours under the sun, you’re not dedicated enough
