Business Outlook
Pros
Safe company in tough times, despite what seems regular cut backs. Funding for staff development has not been cut back. Lots of opportunities as such a huge employer, just need to find the right area for you (something I have not achieved thus far). Generally a good overall culture.
Cons
Very bad management in many areas. Development plans are encouraged within team, but then very rarely lead to promotion. Salary below market rate on average across group. Expenses constantly cut back for Shareholders and profits, but nothing seems to be re-invested in company. End of year rating system with set benchmarks for each grade is flawed.
