Progression is nearly impossible. It is not unusual to find people who have waited over ten years for an upgrade.
There is a serious lack of investment which is noticeable in the staff, the IT equipment and the buildings in general.
Salaries are below local average and do not compare to other local similar companies.
Retention is poor. A heavy recruitment of graduates results in the middle people having to train people more while their workload increases as people leave.
Once off the graduate and apprentice schemes, progression stops.
Few training opportunities.
