      A company of mixed bags - excellent prospects if you can deal with the many difficult people who work there.

      Pros

      Excellent career prospects if you want to stick around, final salary pension after 5 years' service, heavily subsidised rail travel and a great team environment.

      Cons

      Stfiled by the fact the company is so heavily unionised and the fact that many front line posts are manned by absolute dinosaurs who are completely averse to change. Some very questionable offices in portacabins in less than ideal locations.
