Pros

Some lovely people work there, the colleagues are the people who pull you through some of the regulations and protocols that make no sense

Cons

Bullying is the norm and a culture here, the clique of management are all friends so if you have a genuine welfare concern, I wouldn’t expect anything to be done with it. There is training provided at the bare minimum with so many gaps left you are expected to just find things out yourself.. but when you ask a question please expect a sarcastic email because they are ‘better’ than you ever could be. Micro management on the things that are really indifferent to whether you hit targets or not. There is also no flexibility in work schedule when working from home highlighted that this was possible ... 8:30-5:30 in a shed in Macclesfield

Pros

Pay and benefits were great. My direct manager was fantastic

Cons

Working environment on the team I joined was highly toxic. To the point where if I knew it was as bad I would have never accepted the job offer. Ended up staying 9 months before finding another job.
