Pros

1) Some friendly staff, but high staff turnover (wonder why?) 2) Management nice on the surface (but it's all fake) 3) Small perks during the week (ice cream, chocolate bars, breakfast) 4) Good environment for learning clinical science skills.

Cons

1) You get criticised for asking questions - better to keep quiet in your cubicle and not ask any questions, as management will criticise you for it later. 2) Management has no human touch and hides away from face-to-face discussions. 3) Unreliable management that does not stick to performance review format that they themselves have introduced. 4) Poor training. 5) Very poor support from management overall - you mean nothing to them. 6) Anonymous feedback via line manager with no follow-up or chance to learn/improve from feedback. Feedback often delayed by several weeks. 7) As feedback is anonymous, it breeds an air of mistrust, as you never know who might snitch on you in the future. 8) Staff seems fearful of airing grievances and just keep their heads down.

Pros

Annual ski trip which is never guaranteed.

Cons

Small business very cliquey, management claims to have hands tied by the decisions of the restrictive holding company. Those who are bf's with management get promotions. Directors are lazy and rely on over promoting a young workforce. Work isn't very creative. There is no work life balance - the only way to succeed is to kiss up to your line manager and work The a dog.

Pros

Training was good, there's a sense of wanting to improve conditions even if it never materializes. If you thrive on stress (and some people do) you could do well here

Cons

Everybody I knew who worked there was hyper stressed out all the time because of the some of the work policies (no breaks on time sheets, constant micromanaging and blame games from managers to the point it sometimes felt abusive)
