Pros

Work colleagues are nice to work with. Good length of time off at Christmas. Good place to learn the basics.

Cons

Overtime not compensated. Lack of training and staff development. Shareholder driven. Management operate on more of a stick than carrot policy. You can have wonderful achievements in a year, but even something small can stay on your record and be brought up time and time again by different managers.
