Pros

nice offices , generally nice people to work with.

Cons

old fashioned in its outlook. won't spend money on must needed resources. too hung up on processes rather than getting the job done. The potential to be a giant , but given that you have a hand up your back half the time, its impossible to see how things will improve. often fire people , and the first you know is when loads of people are missing from the office. Loyalty means nothing, I witnessed a man who had worked there 20 + years made redundant who was actually doing a sterling job.

Pros

Some good benefits, especially the pension Really good location in the city centre, and free parking if you use your car as part of your role Diverse group of companies working for growth in Manchester

Cons

The company likes to operate with fewer staff than are needed. Back fills are deliberately left unadvertised and unfilled for months resulting in remaining staff expected to take on extra work and soak up all the pressure from the resulting fallout. Once you're in, you're unlikely to see a pay rise or the promised bonus, staff who have been there a long time on really poor salaries due to very low yearly increases. No thanks for coping with extra work load, only critism when things go badly No investment or training Very poor communication from management, would often hear about re-organisations and other business changes through word of mouth

Pros

Nice office environment, Good Pension, good career progression, medium sized business with lots different subsidiary companies to experience and work with. Working with new technology. Fun Team.

Cons

Low Pay compared to industry standard, Senior management does not communicate very much with staff, hardly any or non existent staff training. Staff to I.T support ratio is too high. Unpaid overtime work. Overtime pay is very small compared to industry standard. Everything seems to be hush hush about the company, when you ask about what is going on. No yearly bonuses No year pay rises No Training - this is a training organisation and the staff in I.T are not trained on systems that they do not know but they have to figure out. This can be dangerous as when something goes wrong it can impact the business because the staff are not fully trained on a system that has been implemented.
