Pros

Pay is alright if you’re living with your parents and just pay board money. If you’re buddies with the leadership, you’ll probably get a pay rise or promotion based on nothing but the fact that you’re in their circle. You get sick pay and links to well-being help and that, but you’ll probably get disciplined, warnings or dismissal if you are off sick for too long.

Cons

Where to start? You won’t get anywhere unless you brown nose or are buddies with the leadership. Doesn’t matter how good you are at your job, without that, you won’t get anywhere or be recognised for anything. You will be discriminated against in their smart Aviva way of trying to cover it up. You pregnant? Yeah you’ll have the rainbows and glitter shaken over you with the paid maternity/paternity leave, but they’ll also try and push you out of the job. They’ve tried to get people who have disabilities or mental health issues to quit to avoid law suits of sacking them, under no reason whatsoever. If you’re having a hard time, don’t count on any real help. Sure the perks and benefits are good, but are they worth the lack of care, over worked and discrimination? Not one bit. They’ll start resigning people and label it redundancy” then a month later their job will be on Indeed. Want to work from home permanently as you have the ability to do so? Nah can’t do that, got to come into the office 60% of the time for no reason what’s so ever. Dogs? Childcare? Mental health worries? Nah not a thing for them to care about.
