Pros

Always paid on time and correctly. HR was actually rather quick to fix some of the basics like pay rises being applied etc

Cons

There was widespread extra marital affairs and this was well known and never addressed. Sexual harassment was also ripe. Saw management shouting and swearing at their underlings. I wouldn't put up with it, fought back, they sacked me but I walked away with about 14k in settlement. Terrible place to work, terrible people and terrible employer. HR kept in the dark and local managers covered up a lot.
