Pros

Some really great people to work with. We spend most of our time looking for better jobs.

Cons

Company is going nowhere fast. High salary positions are few and far apart. Again supervisory positions are reserved for people with little experience. Retired and former police officers are not considered for any supervisory positions.

Pros

Good early opportunities to develop and progress. There used too be signifigant funds for training which lead to highly trained employees but the training was reduced in time. A high turnover of staff is caused by unrealistic expectations and false promises.

Cons

Run in the main by bullying managers, who are usually either bullied from above or are trying to make a name for themselves. Too many incompetent people with a lack of knowledge for the roles they carry out. Too much expected from employees due to rediculous contracts agreed between the company and customers.
