Pros

Few that I can think of

Cons

Pay is below industry standard. Seems no motivation for reviewing engineer pay. Install bonus isn’t worth the time. Additional skills don’t lead to bumps in pay as they do elsewhere. Communication is poor at best. Promises made is recruitment stage not followed through on, only half my previous qualifications brought across and impossible to get them all reinstated here. If your face doesn’t fit the working environment is uncomfortable. Will be moving on within the next few months.

Pros

Sometimes managements gaslighting is comical.

Cons

Pay, workload, communication, culture, profit over safety, customer service and quality. Wellbeing is a serious concern as the company had pushed a swath of its field employees into sickness costing millions. Instead of considering the underlying issues it promotes its treatment offerings - both causing and solving the "problem" leaving employees trapped drowning in the middle.
