Pros
Good quantity of holiday entitlements.
Cons
Under manned, no real leadership, constantly focused on cost cutting from the bottom up. While management multiply at a steady rate of knots, the staff tasked with running the day to day operations dwindle. "Trusted to serve Scotland" being the company moto - yet asked to provide "photographic evidence" of carrying out tasks. Seems SW management aren't trusting the employees of SW to do their jobs. Too many... chiefs and not enough indians; might explain some of the sheer bampottery mid management feel the need to implement, which in turn creates a greater workload on an already undermanned workforce. Employees off on sick leave for stress related illnesses would normally be a red flag to genuine concerned management - alas, it has become the elephant in the room at SW.

Apply some common sense when it comes to employee numbers operating/maintaining/repairing the plants. While focusing on cost cutting perhaps look a little further up the ladder.
