Pros

Some great people who work there

Cons

Zero work/life balance Zero flexibility 10, 9, 8, 7 days working without a day off, frequent working weekends and until 9pm! Hours of working result in exhausted staff and reduced productivity, yet there is constant pressure to achieve unrealistic targets. Senior management aren't expected to work the ridiculous shift patterns but are happy to tell the staff that if they don't like it they need to look for another job.
