Pros

Unfortunately there aren't any pros for this company.

Cons

Bullying, extreme high turnover of staff. HR and senior management do absolutely nothing to deal with bullying and intimidation. Vast amount of staff past and present suffering with anxiety and depression. High sick leave. Management refuse to tackle any complaints. Short staffed and very over worked. It was the worst company I have ever experienced. Disgraceful how they treat staff.

Pros

The people there are the biggest positive about LGC. They are all very willing to help anyone who needs help.

Cons

Management do not care about fairness. Benchmarking and promotions are not fair processes and are not based on how hard you work or how much you know.
