The most ineffective HR team in the UK, a culture of ingrained bullying and fear management.
Pros
Staff travel allows employees to list for standby flights and if there is room it is possible to get a business class seat. There are also complimentary Business Class/ First tickets each year but it can be difficult to secure slots. The office environment is physically nice, bright, like a campus or village with a Waitress and Starbucks on the street as well as a stream inside and a lake at the back.
Cons
Where do I start. It has a very unique (thank goodness) culture. If your local government ran an airline they would run it like this. Politics is absolutely at the core of everything, even senior managers spend most of the day networking and very little time making change happen. Almost perpetually there is a constant 're-org' going on where staff have to re-apply for their job and who ever brown nosed the hardest gets to stay - the best get out and do well when they leave. If you love to play politics and spend all day looking busy you will love it, if you are the type of person who thinks outside the box, is creative, inspirational and determined to make change - the business will systematically either destroy you or force you out. Even the annual pay award is done by committee - it has nothing at all to do with performance - everyone's performance is put through 'forced distribution' = Team of 5 with one amazing performer and 4 very good performers = does not compute "who do you wish to force down to an unachieved" - "nobody" - "you have to, someone has to be unachieved that's how it works!"
