Pros
Fantastic workforce full of knowledge and understanding of a very complex industry. Lots of charity work and support including Macmillan and local charities. Agile working from home or most convenient office is a real bonus to working parents, great flexibility.
Cons
Company losing money by the millions due to a very tough market, so most of its fantastic workforce are sadly about to be made redundant.
