Pros

? can't honestly see any at the moment, hopefully it will go back the place it once was. Staff discount

Cons

Since the financial difficulties hours have been cut leaving it impossible to function, trying to be in 3 places at once, reliable,good long serving staff are leaving left right and centre. I just can't see what the future holds.

Pros

Decent pay (at management level), decent work hours (I've only had to work late hours/ weekends or evenings occasionally). Semi decent canteen, and nice city centre location. Really nice staff, easy to get on with.

Cons

Everything else is rubbish. If you're looking for a relaxed life, with no clear objectives, no leadership, no ownership, high inertia, old archaic systems and technology, siloed teams, lack of communication, lofty goals but lack of talent ans resources- then this is the right place for you. But if you want to do something more meaningful with your life- give this a miss. The CEO is the most uninspiring one I've ever seen/ worked with.

Pros

Local, well paid, friendly colleagues

Cons

Red tape, member owned, senior management too laid back, that is until something goes wrong then the blame culture kicks in.
