Business Outlook
Pros
The company represents much of what we stand for in England. Modest, quietly confident and steeped in history. The company is a great place to work and the people there are genuine. Many of the employees have been there for a long time and it's easy to see why people stay. The working environment is good, good salary and benefits and it's big enough to offer opportunities.
Cons
There is a big struggle with technology, there is often not enough investment in quality technical staff and it's too bureaucratic at times. The strategy sessions are embarrassing, with the management team rolled out to inject enthusiasm and they need some work on being more 'businesslike' in their decision making.
