Pros
I have two young children in primary school and the company have been incredibly supportive by giving me the flexiblity to work around pick ups/drop offs/child ilnnesses etc. The team I work in are really supportive of each other and we have fun together both in and out of the office. I was made to feel welcome by the company the moment I joined. BYG are keen to develop and promote from within with a focus on enhancing staff skills and responsiblities. The pay and benefits are competitive and the social calender is brilliant. The company is right by the nottingham universtity bus stop/tram so easy to get to with lots of amenities nearby. They have strong feelings towards staff not working late and promote the importance of a healthy work/life balance. Something I haven't seen in other companies I have worked for!!! I really enjoy my job and working with my colleagues and I'm genuinely happy i found my job there, so much so I suggested another role to my friend who got the job too!
Cons
Not all staff have the ablity to lock up in the evenings so you sometimes have to go home at 5.30 with everyone else regardless of if you have finished your work or not. Whilst this is a good deterrence to work late, sometimes it can be a pain!
