Pros

I haven't found any as yet

Cons

Since the interview its been a massive catalogue of errors, mistakes, etc etc etc. (even the letter for the interview send me to the wrong place) I didnt think it was possible to mess anything up so much. There is always something that leaves the employee worse of. Threats, massive amount of 'don't know', important employee needs ignored. Loss of earnings as LARGE out of pocket expenses not paid. Change of proceedures constantly. Abuse of good will and openess. Plain lies to cover mistakes of management. Is there a ZERO star option. I have worked in different places and am quite a scholar, but had to get off the dole. I can see what is happening. Everyone has gone greedy, so cutting overheads. But when it goes too far, the government thinks private firms can do it. Not on five pence they cant. If you pay about the minimum wage but want it all .... what happens. Oh you should be happy you have a job .. oh you should be happy you are being abused 0 hour contracts, unhappy staff, kept in the dark, private business does not care at all, it is ran purely on greed nothing more. but will PR it so that it is the most sensitive, caring, thoughtfull thing in the galaxy if it gets it more contracts. The management of the contracts was like putting a bull in a china shop and advertising it as relaxing quiet meditation.
