Pros

Literally nothing. I genuinely can’t think of a single pro. Oh wait the canteen is one of the better ones out there

Cons

Useless, inept management who get wound up when it becomes apparent how little they know. Zero training when dealing with something as imperative as government workers PAY. Clearly SSCL and the government have zero respect for the fact that normal people have to pay bills to survive as SSCL refuses to act on late pay and underpayment for their clients who call up AND THEIR OWN STAFF. I was paid late several times for things that were THEIR mistake and the attitude was ‘tough luck’. I was sacked for daring to be ill which plunged me into debt. I spoke to clients on the phone who worked for the DWP who cried to me on the phone because they hadn’t been paid and we couldn’t tell them when they would be paid and SSCL couldn’t care less. The government ought to be ashamed as by continuing to outsource this they are approving of it

Pros

Great if you are one of the favourites and in the clique

Cons

They have not increased the daily pay rate for many years but have increased the workload. They expect you to work unpaid overtime. There is a toxic workplace where favourites are given work and those not in the clique are simply not given work. Take as zero hours workers there is a huge imbalance between the days given our to work. Personal friends of the permanent staff are given far more work than the rest. If you dare to challenge this you are not given work at all. They constantly tell everyone how amazing it is to work for SSCL but the reality is that it is an 'old boy network'.
