Pros

It's very close to home. It has a very good pension and healthcare scheme. There are local benefits too, like the cycle-to-work scheme etc.

Cons

Nepotism results in a large amount of jobs going to friends and relatives, who don't even suit the job.

No bonuses or overtime.

Has a very high employee turnover.

Some of the managers are too distant and don't even know what you do.

Advice to Management

Go for talent rather than friends and relatives. A lot of people in here don't suit the job and don't have the necessary skills to do it. Job satisfaction is relatively low because of this.
