Avoid - your working life will be miserable

Pros

I cannot think of anything positive

Cons

If you're face doesn't fit, if your opinions differ or you challenge anything then you are forced out. The business is very 'cliquey' and they make it very difficult to fit in unless you conform. There is absolutely no flexibility and as a working mum it was very difficult to fit in due to the expectations of additional hours. The business is extremely behind the times and needs a big push into the 21st century. I worked in HR... if that department cant get it right it leave very little hope for the rest of the business. UK Mail had a great opportunity merging with DHL but have failed to adapt and take on board what DHL do. Unfortunately UK Mail have ruined the DHL employer brand reputation. I presented by concerns to the board who dismissed my concerns - obviously its me and not anything to do with current management styles.

Pros

Strong and stable with great leadership

Cons

One may need to wait for your superior to move or resign for you to rise up the ladder. Alternatively you may want to move to a different team/department to achieve this.

Pros

Good starting place for a job in Tech. People focused environment, free coffee. Jobs are generally well defined and thus easy to manage

Cons

Jobs tend to be very narrowly defined. Very bureaucratic system. Lot of redundant systems more focus on creating new functionality, too little on cleanup and simplification.
