Pros

Great place for people who have no ambition or desire to further their career. If you don't perform particularly well in your job, no one will care

Cons

Someone walks around the office every morning just after 9am, ticking a register to see who's got into the office on time. If you challenge the status quo you'll be marked as a trouble maker If you ask to send anything in the post by recorded delivery you'll be marked as a trouble maker If you chase management for a decision you'll be marked as a trouble maker If you display greater knowledge than senior management, then you'll be marked as a trouble maker etc

Pros

No pros- it's like a very, very bad dream. The majority of employees who work there only do so for the pay and are mostly a collective of uninspiring and odd people. From my first day I felt like a dark cloud had surrounded my very soul. Think of a modern day dictatorship and that would be a very apt description of this organisation. There is no middle management layer, just a couple of senior figures and a highly disingenuous lieutenant with sociopathic tendencies; and eyes on the big prize of windfall when the company sells. No HR function exists so if you have a problem you can't really take it to anyone. If you do you'll be marked as trouble maker. If you get sacked you'll have to go down a tribunal rote before you get anywhere. Employee tribunals are common. Every morning a register is taken, a woman walks round with a big book and a pen. The sight of this person doing this job would literally leave me dumfounded and make me imagine what life may have been like for a Jew holed up in Auschwitz. This is clearly a strategy to remind employees that they are being watched at all times.

Cons

What can one say? - Based in Staines which is awful. No HR function, no middle management. Unambitious employees. Utterly unprofessional right across the board. Careerwise, if this place isn't the end of the line, then I would struggle to think of a worse work environment. Lunchtime involves a walk into Staines town centre passing by heron addicts, Irish gypsies and miserable looking colleagues. Some of the employees are ok, they admit what the place is like and just stay for the money. The only employees who seem to like it there are those who suck up to leadership. You can tell who they are because they gossip too much and come across to you like they are your friend. They are the last ones to leave at the end of the day, so they can report about you to the leadership, and they keep a little file on their computer which contains details of your comings and goings. When not behaving like a snitch, they are boring you all day long with their banal and limited conversation. Pity for these employees is all I used to feel.

Pros

Nice office, parking, friendly employees

Cons

Senior management team consists of white middle aged men. Not good when 3 female employees have left in the last 6 months because they felt unsupported.
