    Pros

    Solid well maintained and organised working environment. Decent and well provided provisions such as uniform and break facilities. Ever expanding, large future contracts near enough guaranteeing future work load and job security.

    Little staff career development; although the corporation boasts large learning schemes this is rarely felt in the UK side of the business.

    More opportunities for progression and training schemes to further develop employees skills and abilities.
