Pros

The queue at the exit door contained some gifted people who I respect a lot Software services showed a genuine improvement in organisation and mobility

Kontras

One thing they'll be very keen to tell you during the interview stage is that there is a significant amount of travel involved. What they won't tell you is that travel is unpaid and is to be performed out of working hours only. Enjoy those evenings driving high and wide across the UK with no additional pay. Expenses don't cover lunch or tolls, you'll have to take the longer route home after a busy day if you don't want to pay out of your own money. You are contractually required to opt out of your right to the working time regulation, so if you get home from a customer at 2am, you still start work at 9! Enjoy your first day at Castleton where you will notice the jaded and utterly defeated people who are greasing the cogs. Don't worry about not fitting in, you'll feel this way too by the end of your first week. The driving force of the company is to sell, with little care for anything after-sale. Don't take my word for this, if you get the job you'll get to experience customer attitude soon enough. There's a massive bullying culture here, mainly that comes from the directors. Only friends of the directors get meaningful promotions, they are aggressive and rude to the majority of staff, and attempt to control things in a disruptive way. Managers come and go from this place in a matter of a few weeks or maybe a month or two. Appears that behaviour from the higher-end of the hierarchy make it uncomfortable enough for them to want to move elsewhere PDQ.

Pros

In the beginning there were lots of supportive, knowledgeable and friendly people around, but alas most of these have left and so did I. I am sad to say it is the worst company I have ever wasted my engery on and am so glad to see the back of it, even with a £8,000+ pay reduction to do so!

Salaries (if you were young, pretty and of the desired gender) were competitive. Otherwise "you should suck it up because (insert sexist, ageist or racist comment here) and you'll be pretty close to the mark. Working and keeping on top of everything whilst you are on annual leave or off sick is expected. Management have no respect or care for the staff. You are expected to put everything in for the company, but if you expect anything back, forget it! Even down to being paid for travel time, which sometimes could be long hours, you were expected to just work it. Management will happily throw staff under the bus to make themselves look good to those above them and customers. Your efforts are futile and after constant basing to work hard, they just pile more on you. Management have stale ideas, empty promises and a bag full of lies waiting for you! It's a terrible place to work, I'm disappointed in myself that I wasted so much energy here, and I beg you if you are reading this and thinking of going for an interview/ applying... Do your self a favour and don't.
