Pros

Some of the people I worked with really made it more enjoyable than it should have been. The customer base was generally good to work with compared to other businesses.

Cons

Really don't value their employees despite usual cliches about them being company's greatest asset. Bizarre employment terms which combined with changing working practices over time left people working half their hours on part time and half on zero hours terms. Zero hours rates were low - we're talking not keeping pace with NMW increases by time I left (one of the reasons I left).
