Avantages
- nice new facilities, some departments get the benefit of an open plan office -good location and parking - great colleagues - a general reluctance to take any accountability for anything means there's a lot of opportunity to learn a lot of useful things outside the scope of your role - flexible with home working and family commitments - management in some departments are keen on CPD and are generous with courses/time for training
Inconvénients
- leadership seem to see Quality/compliance/regs as an inconvenience, not a necessity and staff in those departments are frequently made to feel like the problem for trying to do the right thing - no defined attainable goals that would lead to progression within the roles - pay is exceedingly below market average - resourse is a constant problem and senior management project the opinion that if the department is just getting by nothing needs to change, even if the department head clearly outlines resource deficits - concerns about compliance risks are listened to but ultimately ignored in the name of getting product out the door - management do not always back their own team when they try to do their job properly. A cut corner that keeps production running is always the preferred route - zero transparency on the most trivial matters
