Pros

Can’t actually think of any

Cons

Poor management from CEO to Controllers. They are all in for themselves, making it a dog eat dog world causing a huge finger pointing blame culture. Bonus has not been hit for the past 6 years. No work life balance. They say they have flexibility, but in reality it’s moving from 8:45-5pm to 8:30-4:30pm...not really flexibility. Disciplinaries if off sick for 3 occasions in one year. Very male dominated, stuffy, sexist business. Maybe 3 woman in senior positions. No care for health & well-being let alone mental well being or LGBT. Promotions are given to those with a face that fits rather than who deserves the role. They dislike anyone with an option. Way too much formality. Slow internal processes which have a huge impact when dealing with external parties. Meetings for meetings, believe this is due to them proving a point about having to be in the office Monday to Friday. No development plans. It’s all about standard KPIs. No autonomy on your P&L. Constant internal negotiations for every penny. No internal strategy from the business units to understand the goals and ambitions. It’s for the account teams to drive their own agenda with very little guidance.

Pros

The potential is there. Great people!

Cons

Upper Management is by far the worst I’ve ever seen, not to be trusted and scared of the big bosses in UK. HR does not help people that are overworked, treated unfairly or being discriminated. High turn over in most departments and the reasons are obvious. They offer you money, but do you think you will find happiness?
