Pros

Good Salary, Interesting and wide workstream for graduates within the distribution business.

Cons

Let the managers manage underperformance. Under performing employees once they are on performance management go to union and straight after the go on sick. The union presses senior management for the underperforming employees to change manager and they always achieve the goal. HR are union messengers and they don't comply with their own policy. Sometimes they are not really aware of their own policies. Employees with exactly the same role at a different geographic area are entitled to company cars and others not. This non-equal treatment is supported by HR and senior directors with non-existent excuses. Managers are pushed not to manage under performance to avoid all this hassle. Very low moral and culture. Promotions is given not based on performance but based on who complaints more.Employees without a degree in Engineering complaining for promotion while they cannot apply the basics of electrical engineering.
