Avantages
No real pros, been in the company for over 7 years, no real promotion although they give you the extra workload without the title or the salary but line managers fill your head with promises of more money and great prospects. In reality only the line managers earn decent salary and also decent bonuses which never ever make it to the staff on the shop floor.
Inconvénients
Always failed promises, senior managers promise the earth when in fact there is a huge bullying ethic especially in the london region, since senior staff left and new managers have taken positions they have instilled the bullying and re-inforce the tactic used. Vacancies advertised internally are blocked by line managers, no one ever gets a look in, when you request to apply for internal advertised posts you are accused of letting the division down and being a quitter.
