Pros

I enjoy my job and my line manager is pleasant and supportive. I earn good money for what I do and there are plenty of opportunities for a long and varied career should I choose to take them.

Cons

Some staff work ridiculously long hours due to unreasonably heavy workloads, inadequate staffing and 'role clarity' contracts which, in essence, mean they are required to stay until the job is done. This situation makes achieving a reasonable work-life balance virtually impossible for some employees. While large sums of money are spent on building and upgrading main office buildings, maintenance depots and other frontline locations are run-down, dirty and depressing working environments.
