Pros

discounts and share save scheme

Cons

Culture is suffocating never felt valued. Unless you are part of the senior management team you are simply just a number and treated like a robot...Do what we say we don't care what you think! Huge churn of staff and HR have an extremely bad policy when returning after maternity leave with restricted flexible working hours...they have their own in house legal team and threaten staff with tribunals almost on a daily basis...I know of at least four cases of people having to leave when they've been faced with sick relatives and requesting to reduce hours and being refused the requests with no option but to leave their jobs. Bullying is rife and is full of backstabbers and smiling assassins...Terrible company...it's a shame that Lord Wolfson doesn't see what's going on under his nose!!
