Pros

Pros....pay isn’t that bad that’s why most people put up with it. Plus basically let you take the mick with doing as much over time as you want

Cons

No one to one No bonuses Management need to listen more Lots of bullying Managers that need experience in the real world Office environment is awful and in need of updating Not paperless and waste so much paper every month very out of date company. People stay because it’s easy to where they live and also there normally the ones that are in the managers or managers friends. Certain manager shares personal information with other members of staff. Wish I had read the reviews on here before joking the accounts dep in Chelmsford.
