Pros

Easy working hours, nice life balance, relatively good perks including gym and staff discount. Some of the work wS interesting but you had to find it.

Cons

Some people seem to hate it with a passion, a lot of people have worked their for ever. I got the feeling that I could have done nothing for a few years and no one would have ever tried to challenge me on it.

Pros

10% employee discount with additional double discount periods (20% off for seasonal events) Also get the 5% + 1% proposition which is 5% back to you and 1% to your community. Great to work for a business that helps the local communities. Get other health/ pension benefits too. Also encouraged to work from home. Amazing eco building too at angel square.

Cons

Other benefits such as events or concerts would be good.
