Pros

Get to walk around a lake at lunch time. The pay for the area is ok.

Cons

Stuck in the 1970's. Very authoritarian system. Fixed holidays which for an office job in 2020 is insane. Projects are run poorly with very unrealistic timing plans. No regard for staff wellbeing, any suggestions on how to improve the culture are suppressed immediately. Not allowed to wear headphones again for 2020 is bonkers. Messages from the owner plastered kn every wall which over time just looks like propaganda. No regard for the customer as long as they are making money.

Pros

I found the staff in all departments very helpful during my time with the company, and I gained a variety of experience through the course of my employment. The company employs a very structured and disciplined approach to all areas of the business, with tasks and procedures well documented, supported by very competent staff.

Cons

The only regret I have, was the limited time I was with the company, having to leave, due to company restructuring, as a result of future perceived market share reduction in overall business sales.
