Pros

Great annual leave, family friendly policies, flexible work hours, nice staff with good comradery.

Cons

Progression depends a lot on your manager, lack of leadership, managers not skilled at managing teams, very reactive company. A lot of people at low grades with no progression in the company and no investment by the company to help them progress. The company culture and values have changed a lot over the years and not in a positive way.

We have put a lot of resources into developing our line managers in recent years and we are committed to continuing this work. As regards progression a lot of staff have progressed upwards through the business in recent years and we very much want to encourage that to continue. We are also developing action plans to address areas for improvement arising from our most recent staff survey.
