Pros

Good benefits and base salary. Good canteen and subsidised gym. Free bus from Doncaster rail station.

Cons

No overtime although expected. Random drug and alcohol tests for office workers but not for contractors so what is the point? IT doesn't need to be so complicated.

Pros

Offers challenging, but varied and interesting work, where you learn to use a wide variety of skills and talents. No one day is ever the same!

Cons

A large company where it is not always easy to get things done, or to get everyone to move in the same direction. Also, there is no real clear career progression path to follow.

Pros

Most co-workers are very nice. Some of the department managers are ok to work with. Good health coverage. That is about all.

Cons

Low pay. No raise in many years. Too many changes within the company that leads to nobody (including managers) knowing what is going on. They lay off experienced workers to save money then hire temps with no experience at a much lower salary and expect the few workers that are there swamped in work to train the new temps. All to save money, and not caring how badly it is effecting their workers. Everyone is overworked and under paid. They could care less. But hey- you have health insurance....
