Pros
A good learning curve for junior architects as a lot of CPD training is provided and there is a good variety of projects.
Cons
Shrewsbury senior office management were old school and bullies. Staff turnover was scary - every month there was somebody joining and leaving. Attitude to staff was very poor and often disrespectful. Architects work very long hours and weekends, most are suppressed, undervalued and live in fear of losing their jobs. Only selected few are given opportunity to get the right type of work needed to fully qualify. Most junior architects are treated as "CAD monkeys" and get paid little.
