Pros

> Some great people > Some friendly staff

Cons

> Hierarchical management structure takes an age to get things done or agreed > Leadership trapped in the 1970's - hands off approach and only see them when things go wrong - never seen or spoken to the CEO - a real ivory towers organisation! > Micro-management > Lacks flexibility - management like you sitting at your desk and appearing to do work > Incredibly bureaucratic, political and status conscious > No strategic direction > No performance reviews > No development > No career progression or career plans > Staff not engaged - only going through the motions to protect their jobs > No incentive to improve > Ridiculously high salaries considering the roles and capabilities of the candidates

Pros

Good pay and conditions. Flexible rosters

Cons

It depends on who your friends are as to what hours you are given, with some staff simply refusing to do night shift, as they don’t want to.
