Pros

christmas gifts other nice coworkers wage subsidised canteen nice free three course christmas dinner in two sittings but only in day time

Cons

if you a licker or friends or related to right people you will go far 95% staff here related to each other but they do not want this widely known so you will find all little things out in canteen and at smoking shelter husband/wife. mum/daughter. cousins. next door neighbours. boyfriend/girlfriend. brothers. sisters.old class mates. if you do not do as they want they will push you to the edge making you unhappy in your job or so you leave terrible food for staff makes them visit nearby fast food and bring it in to canteen except if upper management visiting suddenly Gordon Ramsay cooking very sly but very good with underhand bullying tactics preference given to full time workers with set shift patterns but part time workers are used to buffer cover giving no cohesion not good work life balance never practise the values they spout all time Ingvar would turn in grave
