Pros

Supporting government and social organisations you feel you are conributing to society. I work on a customer site and most Serco staff here say it is conveniently close to where they live, but that seems to be the only good thing.

Cons

Poorly trained management all the way to the top. Many initiatives are not well thought out and result in additional work for the grass roots individuals or in some cases just create general chaos. The senior management in HQ are remote and do not understand the real issues for the workers. No real recognition or reward for contributing to the success of the organisation overall.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
