Pros

The staff are friendly cos they're all in the same boat

Cons

The management are bullying overbearing people, if you get a good one thy're sacked or moved. promotion is by who you know not how well you can do the job. All are very quick to admonish, for the smallest things, and in 5 years with the company I was complimented only twice! This was at a time when i was running a Home Shopping Pod, introducing a faster kpi moniter, and training future managers. Management is by fear rather than respect.

Pros

A good name to have on the CV, relaxed environment and understanding colleagues and line managers in most cases.

Cons

Salary reviews never happen. Been put on a salary at the beginning and never reviewed, despite salary bands been raised (new hires with less experience paid more than seniors). Policy "work where it works" being scrapped for a forced return to the office, despite all communication and processes are online and you almost never need to sit in a conference room with other staff.
