Pros
I have made some good friends here. I get paid on a monthly basis (to an extent) and am able to pay my mortgage.
Cons
Very very negative place to work. Staff receive nothing but criticism no matter how hard they work which has led to a severe lack of motivation and morale and no desire to perform well. Employees are not treated as human beings but simply resources and there is no care or consideration for people and their well being. Made to feel like a criminal if you ever dare to phone in sick due to the lack of staff as a direct result of everyone leaving because of unhappiness. No praise/rewards/recognition of any sort (not even verbal) and it takes a whole 10 years of service to be rewarded with one extra day's holiday! Not many people make it that long to actually take advantage of this. In my opinion, it speaks volumes that only a select few people were invited to write a review on this site as only certain opinions are valued and those are positive ones that speak in favour of management. Any conflicting opinion is treated as being invalid. In addition, only the positive reviews have attracted any kind of response. In response to the "I must be working for a different firm!?" review, I have no doubt that this must have been done by a member of senior staff as they are the only ones who are so blinkered as to the issues that the firm has or are perhaps the ones that try to ignore them?! 99% of employees that have left are completely happy with their choice and have no desire whatsoever to return to Beever and Struthers so I find it absolutely crazy to claim that people would soon be asking for their job back! Would also love to know the basis for the calculation that the average length of service is 20 years and how one person can possibly vouch for the views of 'the majority of staff'. The biggest con of all - this review will make absolutely no difference! Nobody cares!
