Pros

There is a huge amount of reward and recognition, staff incentives, bonuses, discount for the products we supply as well as a lot of different theme days, they support the local community by investing time and money in keeping parks maintained. They support charities every month as well as having free legal advice in case you need it, for any reason. They have a summer hours policy which makes a huge difference to the work/life balance.

Cons

The salaries aren't quite up to a living wage for the area we live in, there are times when information isn't filtered down as quickly as it could be and the contacts for customer are always changing.
