Poor Management, unable to progress/develop, if your face doesn’t fit then you are ignored, stuck in roles. Can be very backstabbing.

Pros

The salary & some of the people that work there

Cons

Western power like to run their staff into the ground, they operate on a minimal staff basis & the business model doesn't work, the management pile more pressure on you, people leave & don't get replaced. Management make it extremely difficult for working mothers to work part time hours so it's hard to achieve a manageable work life balance. The company claim to care about employees mental health but do very little to support this statement. The employee relations department is an absolute farce, they don't understand many aspects of mental health, so don't support employees in getting back to work when off sick, the way disciplinary's are dealt with is laughable, everything is always covered up, kept under wraps & very minimal punishment unless you do something operationally incorrect then in that case you'll be pulled over the coals.
