      Pros

      Mature and competent colleagues. Transparant and engaged middle-management. Nice location (Sale) and recently (2024) refurbished offices. Free parking. 37 hour contracts, Fridays are early finish and dress-down. Flexible hybrid working (depending on the department). Flexible working hours (depending on the role). High staff retention (depending on the department), people stay in their roles for years. Excellent travel links - metrolink (Dane Road) is around the corner and the motorway (Junction 7 M60) is at the end of the road. Local town centre is 10 minute walk away for the lunch breaks. There is a government-funded apprenticeship scheme available (coursework to be completed in addition to your workload). Gender diversity in staff and management is fairly balanced. Meternity/paternity/adoption leave is generous.

      Cons

      Distant and disengaged upper management and HR. Benefits are thin on the ground - private pension, cycle to work scheme, free flu voucher, free eye test, that's about it. Pay only increases by 3.5% annually, usually lower than inflation and much less than the minimum wage increases, so it's a real-term pay cut year on year with no option to renegotiate salary. There's no dedicated training department, which is unusual for such a large company. You will be trained by your colleagues and once established you will be expected to train new starters. No unions recognised and no shop stewards. Career progression opportunities are very rare. In several years there have been 3 or 4 waves of redundancies, periodically the company makes budget cut-backs and re-organises staff and duties to seek efficiencies.
