Pros

Very little micromanagement in my territory. This varies according to the manager. Good pay, good products.

Cons

POD environment. If you have a weak link it can kill your bonus.

Pros

Generaly very nice people to work with and managers etc on a personal level were always warm and accomodating where possible

Cons

wage is average to poor for the sector. Little room for progression with most people staying for at least 5-8 years in their band. Very resistant to change and were often met with a "we do it this way because we have always done it this way" mantra - despite all of the change an initiatives from the top which were often meerly just words rather than actions. Constant rounds of reorganisation and redundancies meant that productivity had dropped at least 50% as people were too bust working out where the next job was going to be!
