Reliable work stream but still stuck in the past.

Pros

The company has a reliable influx of work so job security was great and alongside friendly and intelligent colleagues, this was a great place to work. Flexibility of work life balance was brilliant as well.

Cons

It left me wanting on future-looking, innovative and modern stand points because the company is stuck in it's ways from many years of history and upper management take a very long time to update tools, equipment and processes so you were continually frustrated with lack of progress or slow tools. I would also say the insular nature of a company in the heart of a rural county has a tendency to have close minded views.
