Pros

- Friendly atmosphere - Supportive colleagues - Given some level of autonomous working - Achievable (albeit small) bonus

Cons

- Work life balance is not great - expectation is to work after hours, despite having arrived early - Remuneration package is nowhere near on par with competitors, especially given level of work - No structured training schemes - this has now changed to put the onus on the worker; impossible 99% of the time due to work load - Virtually no 'realistic' career progression opportunities and career development discussions with management have ceased to exist

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm very pleased that you find the work environment supportive and friendly. However, it's concerning that you have to work long hours and feel there are limited training and career progression opportunities available. We've made the latter a big focus following employee feedback last year, with lots of training sessions and toolkits launched to help you discover your personal best. If you feel you aren't getting access to this or it's not relevant to you, please do raise this with your line manager, along with your pay concerns. We want to make sure that everyone feels supported, adequately rewarded and able to learn new skills in order to develop their careers.
