Business Outlook

Pros

People and culture are great. Management genuinely seem to care about employees and doing the right thing. Everyone also has a great sense of humour and is down to earth.

Cons

Lots going on and 24 hour working patterns can lead to long days at times, but at least this is recognised and staff welfare is always considered. When you can see an end to it and the reasons why it at least makes it more manageable.
