Pros

BUPA , gym on site , massages on site heavily discounted , discounted canteen meals , discounted shop on site, half Friday (you are working more on the rest of the week to make up for Fridays hours) , 1 day a week WFH , treats and freebies every now and then , English breakfast offered on Friday's, profit share , relaxed atmosphere and nice people in general working there and many other benefits that I’m forgetting at the moment Career opportunities inside the company

Cons

Majority of the leadership in Frimley are working many years in the company and are approaching retirement, therefore they can’t inspire and motivate due to lack of interest from their side to do their job. Atmosphere sometimes is too relaxed and the behaviors from colleagues are not professional at times Salaries unfortunately are to low in comparison with similar positions in other companies and specially now with all the inflation going up and taxes rising the small salaries will be even smaller Constantly there is a feeling that you are replaceable, I never felt for example that I made any impact to the business as no one bothered to acknowledge it , there is no recognition and appreciation no matter how hard you work The roles are as lean as possible , it means that for this little salary you will given lots of tasks and responsibilities and you will be thrown under the bus and blamed if you don’t manage the huge volumes of work Working from home is only once a week and given the company location in Frimley you will need to spend time and money for commute Training when you are a first starter is almost not existing Turnover of staff very often If I would summarize I would say Salary -location - non flexible - careless leadership- 0 appreciation for the employees

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
