Pros
you get a good amount of holiday
Cons
-Introducing changes without zero regard for whether it'll actually improve effectiveness. Imagine being told a job that currently requires two managers will now only be handled by one. What was the outcome? A drop in performance. Who would have thought that two teams need two managers. This was the only job where I actually felt that managers had it worse, and a company that 'cares' shouldn't be doubling people's workload overnight. -Progression is literally non-existent unless you're a favourite. The payscale system introduced is absolutely ridiculous- why do we need to learn how to do two other job roles which we aren't contracted to do? -If you take an interest in how things actually work in the drainage industry, you'll quickly realise all the company actually needs from you is calling customers and clicking a few times. -How effective do you think you are, working for 12 hours? Most people would get at least the same amount if not more work done in 8. -Higher managers don't actually care about the work you do and this is made really obvious. But they do get to enjoy all the bonuses, pay rises, company cars etc. -Any new process that's introduced is introduced with no real input from the people who will have to do it. And if you don't like it? You're being negative. -If you're not interested in being gossipy or lazy, expect to be treated like an outcast. -I've never seen a job where favoritism is more open. -You're at the mercy of everyone except your actual line manager. If someone wants something, it doesn't matter that there's a stack of procedures saying their issue isn't important or even your problem. They'll just stomp their feet until they get it.
