Pros

From a fixed term contract to a cross function role that lasted for 7 years. If you work hard enough and learn the business you can go far, the ability to embrace change stands you in good stead too. I had 6 1/4 wonderful years with the business in York and across the country

Cons

One of the Lead HR Business partners that joined the office made the last part of my career with NR absolute hell. A bully from start to finish, she joined with a venomous approach to anyone that knew more than her and worked at getting rid of all those that she didn't like. I was one of them. Recalled back from a secondment to do a job that wasn't my original position. I ended up resigning after many wonderfully enjoyable years.

Pros

Working in corporate functions, there was a good team spirit, and lots of opportunities around the business for high performing staff.

Cons

A lot of old timers who were less respectful of young ambitious employees, but not such a big problem. A bit bureaucratic and slow paced sometimes.
