Pros

Great work life balance. 9-5 mostly 35 hourly week. would say this is the highlight. 9 months full pay maternity leave Great if you have no career ambition, want a career break

Cons

Lack of experienced qualified management. No career progression a number of deep seated bad apples in the senior management team with preference to the status quo its a charity so dont expect great remuneration and benefits Lots of contractors which are treated better than permenant staff Company competes in a dying market

Pros

Used to be a strong brand with great products to sell to customers and see them succeed.

Cons

Now it's micromanaged with lots of reporting on why every side of the business is collapsing.
