Pros

Friendly, hard-working staff Staff shop Annual conference Established, globally recognised brand Many chances to be promoted - this is due to high turnover however

Cons

Poor culture & high turnover - when leadership asked what they were doing to address this, their answer was "we have implemented a HR policy around this" Lack of leadership - most of senior leadership have left in past two years - draw your own conclusions why - as a result, lack of direction from leadership team on tough decisions Short-term focus by leadership to chase unrealistic targets. This has lead to under-resourcing at the expense of brand equity and employee happiness caused by crippling workloads Poor work/life balance in many teams due to employees leaving and this being absorbed as a 'saving' instead of the position being filled Technology is caught in the past decade - needs to catch up

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
