Pros

Clean environment, good holiday leave.

Cons

I used to go in with fire in my belly, but recent years management don't reward on what you can do, rather they take care of yes people and friends. If you make criticism or put a genuine point of view across its at your own peril as you get vilainised. Unless you are on a salary you are regarded as disposable, most people are on same money as shelf stackers and to be honest you'd have more job prospect stacking shelfs. HR department is absolutely abysmal, only concerned with keeping management happy, concerns raised are very rarely met.. Nor are they ever on site. I could go on........

Pros

A 4-day work week is super nice, but I would rather work at a company with a 5-day work week that pays much better and values its employees.

Cons

No growth opportunities, and the pay is terrible. The workload is too much for the lack of people on the team, and you don't get a bonus, no matter how hard you work. The company preaches growth opportunities and brags about how they are growing and always exceeding profit goals, but if you aren't high enough in the company, you won't be rewarded for it. I would say 80% of the employees are underpaid, and it's only a 2%-3% raise each year.
