Cripes, I applied in 1982 & was told that the Company was dedicated to full Nationalisation within three years. Only a three year contract was on offer & that I should not expect a "career" rather than a time contract. I declined. Silly me. Could have stayed 32 years ! Actually, never heard anything bad about them & most seemed to have enjoyed it very much. All those I knew served much longer than three years. Good luck.
