Pros

Strong training programme upon joining the business, professional internal recruitment process

Cons

Line managers and senior managers offer limited support, office culture is very toxic, does not offer much to someone who is not a 30+ year old woman. All very cliquey, constant drama or rumours going round about someone. Often find people crying in the toilets. Managers have very little trust in staff, constantly questioned on work life and personal life.
