Pros

A couple Managers are really great.

Cons

Upper management is great at giving employees extra tasks that are actually another full time job, which turn into their regular duties. This has created burn out and causes the employees to be disengaged.

Pros

It is very flexible, lots of managers are encouraging, the business is great for networking, good pay, lots of opportunities for progression, Hanson will put you through pretty much any training if it supports your progression or enhances your ability to do your role.

Cons

Lower level staff morale is lacking: I think due to the very steep hierarchy, lots of the middle management feels a bit unnecessary, a few less steps up the ladder would make lower level staff feel better able to communicate and have more power. Certain managers are very unprofessional. The values of the business are seen as a bit of a joke in certain areas of the business, as they do not make their way down to the bottom line.

Company still working through mergers of many companies so, at times, procedures, communications, and support services seem disjointed between the different merged entities.
