Pros

They are some genuine, lovely people working for this business especially outside the head office. Pay and package is good and they have a great Christmas party!

Cons

This company is run by a very small group of people afraid to let anyone have responsibility for decisions or budgets, a big negative to working for a family run business. You have to be very senior before you have any serious responsibility and considered weak of you ask for help. I lost count of the times I generally needed support but was told to come to a meeting with "solutions" not "problems". I personally do not like the management style encouraged by senior leadership, you can expect many people above a certain level to never return your calls or emails and this is generally accepted. People are put under a lot of pressure to show commitment, drive and work stupid hours if they are to get ahead in the business. If you are young, happy to work more than live, move at a moments notice, and join the "boys club" this place is for you!

Pros

Good pay the only good thing

Cons

Lack of health and safety (big times),people forced to work long hours with 1 break.They don't care about nobody.Some people had to travel 3 hours to work each way and then expected to do 11 hr shift. plenty of accidents on site and no measure taken. They have good connection as nobody pick on them.Any other company and site will be close long time ago.If they can do this on big sites where public attention is on them can't imagine what is happening on smaller ones.They care only about money
