Great if you have friends in high places
Pros: The money can be great. Overtime too, if you are part of the "chosen ones". Good meals in the cantine. The initial integration was really good, help for relocating, help to find accommodation, culture workshops.
Cons: It soon becomes apparent that if you are not French, or french speaking, then you are not part of the inner cirlce. Staff behave as if there are no rules for treating others with respect, so they don't bother. Most were just devious and furtive with their behaviour. Passive agressive behaviour was the norm. It was also normal for the French to talk and laugh about me whilst standing/sitting in close range.
The end for me came when so called colleagues (including management) tried to frame me for various things. It was really only thanks to one helpful union representative that I was able to stop this. (Another French union representative would never agree to meet or discuss anything with me, he was just too busy).
I took redundancy, and, I consider myself very, very lucky to have got out of this place.
