Pros

- 28days annual leave plus bank holidays - Discounted rail travel - Career progression and a chance to move between different areas of the business - Excellent pay compared to most organisations, which is why people tend to stick about

Cons

- Working for such a large organisation you can sometimes feel undervalued for the work you actually do - There are a lot of people on excellent salaries who fail to deliver or just do the bare minimum to get by and it seems to go unchallenged - There is a lot of bureaucracy when working - It feels like if your face fits in certain teams then managers will create job opportunities for you and bypass interview processes.
