Pros

Lunch money, £2.5k yearly bonus, good colleagues (only at below management level.

Cons

Terrible health and safety. Directly involved with asbestos and nobody said or asked a word about the incident until I handed in notice. ‘The above’ only care for themselves and their progression. Will be taking further once I’ve left. Poor management. They don’t really care, always cover themselves. Share information and don’t keep things confidential. Chaotic and no structure. Waste thousands on pointless things and don’t listen to suggestions, then try and make us work faster with lower quality of work to save money. No support and nobody to speak to if you need to. Isolated. Offer job opportunities when they’re not actually available. Get hopes up for progression and nothing actually happens. Again, no apology until I mentioned it in my resignation letter. Made Lead installers, plumbers and electricians redundant. Offering substantial sums of money to sign NDA’s. Didn’t give others the choice, just randomly picked. Expected to leave in company vehicle at 7am.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
