Pros

Some nice colleagues (but all leaving the business)

Cons

Undervalues employees and overworks them, more than double-hatting is the norm now and raising geographical scope and job responsibilities of frontline Level 1 work force that would be across multiple people in other companies without additional compensation - potential person of colour issue Too many graduates, apprentices and industrial placements doing the work of full-time employees with zero experience putting strain on delegated full time employees to train them No work life balance for some work level 1 and 2s Productivity plan impacts still ongoing, remaining colleagues leaving in October will expose more gaps Superficial line managers who delegate badly, prioritising networking the corporate ladder rather than managing and doing the role

Pros

Hard to find any pros now... nice new office with a view, Good products. Company store. Good stamp on the resume (I guess).

Cons

UL has lost its way. Used to be an exceptional company when it fundamentally was ethical, environmental and prioritized Customer and employee service. Its now clear that the company is being milked by the board for money. Layoffs, sketchy financial activity, disconnected leadership structures with no feedback loops. Office politics are rampant and you cant get promoted, UL creates their own "glass ceiling" to limit promotions. Multiple divestitures over the past years.
