Pros

A lot of young staff Canteen is free during covid

Cons

Monthly reporting department is a mess. Extremely high turnover. Outdated, time-consuming processes. Consistent long hours. Difficult to get time off, only 2 out of every 4 weeks available to take off and not able to take time Aug-Oct each year. Flexi-time not actually respected, meetings consistently organised outside the core hours and during lunch break. Very low morale, no staff training in the whole time I was there and concerns raised by staff members have been completely ignored.
