Vantaggi

Majority of the staff where a pleasure to work with. Lots of good people working hard to be helpful and do things right. (Before the majority of them left!). A really good way to expand your skillsets and experience, kinda like how wars helped advance medicine. Some training given - occasionally to the appropriate people. The original aims of the company were good, well meaning and effective. Salary was generally competitive.

Svantaggi

Following the buyout by Castleton, the company identity was lost. Strange/dubious decisions were made. Hard working, dedicated staff were treated very badly. We became a disposable commodity which led to many people feeling undervalued and this was reflected in their attitude towards work and colleagues. Left feeling every day was an uphill struggle. Promises were very rarely kept, staff not given opportunity/tools to do their jobs. No payment for travelling time, this can be up to 10 hours of your own time travelling to and from customers. Legal minimum pension, no private health car, gym membership, flexible working hours.

Vantaggi

In the beginning there were lots of supportive, knowledgeable and friendly people around, but alas most of these have left and so did I. I am sad to say it is the worst company I have ever wasted my engery on and am so glad to see the back of it, even with a £8,000+ pay reduction to do so!

Svantaggi

Salaries (if you were young, pretty and of the desired gender) were competitive. Otherwise "you should suck it up because (insert sexist, ageist or racist comment here) and you'll be pretty close to the mark. Working and keeping on top of everything whilst you are on annual leave or off sick is expected. Management have no respect or care for the staff. You are expected to put everything in for the company, but if you expect anything back, forget it! Even down to being paid for travel time, which sometimes could be long hours, you were expected to just work it. Management will happily throw staff under the bus to make themselves look good to those above them and customers. Your efforts are futile and after constant basing to work hard, they just pile more on you. Management have stale ideas, empty promises and a bag full of lies waiting for you! It's a terrible place to work, I'm disappointed in myself that I wasted so much energy here, and I beg you if you are reading this and thinking of going for an interview/ applying... Do your self a favour and don't.
