Pros
Incredibly brand loyal staff, wide opportunity to move around the company into new areas. Great range of destinations available for personal travel.
Cons
Increasingly homogeneous management; white, middle class, middle age and male. In many less operational areas, this is resulting in lack of willingness to recognise the different and valuable skills women, and flexible working. Many women being marked down at annual review for having being on Maternity leave, or not being available for out of work hours social events in times and places that suit most of the males. Total lack of transparency on pay, and gender pay gap, which leaves many women suspecting that their male piers are being favoured in pay and bonus. Pretty mediocre pay, significantly below market even at management level.
