Ok BOB, you're on.
But what do you expect from an Employer?
Cause, before you start to discuss the rogues and good companies, you'll have to know what everyone expects from his/her employer: good pay, ground-rules on sickness pay, pension fund, long hours but overtime paid etc etc etc.
Let's get some basics first.
I know there are some employers (small ones, medium ones and large ones) on this forum who could give their input as what their 'standards' of employment are.
We would look at tidiness (in both work and appearances), punctuality (being there when you need to be there, nothing irritates a customer more then not showing up on the agreed time, or leaving the job inbetween to do some other things), high customer service level for starters.
