Pros

Nothing at all was positive

Cons

Male dominated environment. No problem with that but as a new employee on my first week I was invited to a company event. One of the mangers was drunk, took a liking to me & felt that it was absolutely acceptable to force a kiss on me in front of all other colleagues including site manager. He did not appreciate being rejected, didn’t apologise on the Monday & acted like it never happened & became very dismissive and difficult towards me in the workplace. I sustained about another week and left putting my reasons in writing to HR. Being a new employee I wanted to fit in with my new team & this was made impossible. I wonder if he would appreciate someone treating his daughter like this! Shameful actually. A massive cover up was the outcome of the investigation but I didn’t expect anything less when all the witnesses had been best friends & work colleagues for 20 plus years.

Pros

I'd genuinely struggle to tell you. Anything I thought was good going in quickly ebbed away. I had other offers but I thought this place would have a decent culture (even though the pay was a bit naff) and opportunities to grow - how wrong I was!

Cons

The job you will do will not be the job advertised to you advertised There is a clock and dagger culture, with lots of backstabbing HR pull the strings of the managers, as opposed to managers being empowered to lead but ironically the HR team doesn't understand basic employment law There are ridiculous layers of bureaucracy, meaning lots of talk and meetings, but little action
