Pros

Good and steady income, weekends off, no commitments when you leave the workplace, incentives including christmas vouchers and bonuses, easy to ask for time off

Cons

No annual leave (you work up holiday hours), you recieve a "conversation" which is basically a warning if you call in sick, not a very supportive management team, unfair treatment, bonuses are given in the form of (high, average, low) based purely on the smallest reasons (considering everyone does the exact same amount of work), can be a very high stress enviroment while working with hourly targets, and some very opiniated colleuges. you are the no more or no less important than any other product builder in the room.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
