      Pros

      Interesting things come through the door such as samples and hi tech equipment.

      Cons

      Management are too blasé. No route for progression. Management and collageues are rude and disrespectful. Received bouts of degrading, humiliating and disrespectful behaviour The company drives employees like slaves. The pay is absolutely diabolical. Environment is full of toxic people. If you have any concerns or you need any help, nobody bothers.

      Poor pay and progression

      Pros

      The people are the best thing about LGC. The staff make the job tolerable. Fast-track programmes are good but once you reach the top level of the programme, the progression plateaus out. Employ straight out of uni and have lots of apprenticeships

      Cons

      Senior management do not appreciate the level of work that staff put in, overtime etc. Constantly being told that the team is at capacity when it's clear to all that everyone is stretched. The stress levels are unbareable. There is no focus on quality of work, the only thing that counts is revenue targets. The salary paid for the level of experience is literally pathetic. The focus on staff/recruitment is to get in the cheapest people, fresh out of uni, with no experience. Don't dare ask for a pay rise if you are amazing at your job..you are always replaceable!!
