Pros

There are some good points for SGS. Good co-workers. Original local management was perfect for the role.

Cons

Management of the OGC business within the South of the UK. I was forced to quit SGS through poor management in many areas. I was overworked and little consideration was given personal issues some of those caused by the fact you are required to work for the good of the company only. You are a number, a robot, nothing else. I was given ZERO career opportunity even though I worked harder than most and that commitment to the company was even overlooked in favour of someone else whom management favoured. This structure caused me personal ill health and mental fatigue. When the management system was change only a couple of years before I quit, the situation changed for the worse very quickly. Customers I had worked with for years complained about the changes and being forced to deal with others. I would discuss more here but, I can't as the anxiety at reliving the events is too much. If I ever changed companies again, I will never work with this manager again. I feel this person is destroying a good company and the employees.
