Don’t do it!!!

Pros

The pension is the only great benefit

Cons

Full of two faced, hypocritical, sycophantic people. You can’t really trust anyone, especially the management. On my first day, after taking almost 18mths from application to start date, I arrived at the office and nobody knew I was starting that day. My new manager is off that day, nobody knew I have a health condition despite it being on my application, but that’s my fault, of course!! Most senior managers blatantly spreading misinformation about me. Every, little mistake blown up into full on misconduct only to be reversed when they actually ask for my side of the story. On edge all the time, constantly treading on eggshells. If you’re considering hoping the Home Office, don’t do it!!!
