Pros

None after a recent policy change to travel and expenses

Cons

Avoid at all cost. Recent policy change in the UK for field workers means employees are not allowed to expense any food you buy whilst you're out in the field working. For a multi-billion company to start scrimping on worker's food while they are in the field doing their job is a big slap in the face. You are not even allowed coffee. What a joke of a company.
