Pros

Cons
not applicable, no company cons
Pros
A fantastic place to launch your career, with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The team fosters a relaxed recruitment environment compared to many other organizations. The introduction of a four-day workweek is a game-changer, significantly enhancing work-life balance. The leadership team is comprised of great individuals who are enjoyable to work with
Cons
Limited autonomy, with significant micromanagement and a noticeable lack of trust within the organization. Presence of a glass ceiling, restricting career growth opportunities. Low bonus potential for recruitment roles, diminishing overall incentives. Insufficient training support—while a few online courses are offered, there is a lack of practical sales training to drive genuine commercial success.
Pros
First time round: - developed me as a green graduate - built self-confidence within a commercial setting - increased my autonomy in line with consistent demonstration of ability - made me realise the meaning of a meritocracy - management always on hand to speak to, discuss ideas and help you access suitable support. Second time round (and over a decade later): - I’m no longer green, I’m pretty old (relatively speaking) and a bit wiser - Resources and support available far outstrip what was available when I was first here (and clean up against every other organisation I’ve worked within in the meantime) - Emphasis is still placed on the individual to prove their ability, meet or exceed basic targets consistently, access support where they want it or need it (and from what I’ve seen there’s clear evidence that those who can, still do) - A much more holistic and supportive environment than when I left (and that I’ve experienced elsewhere since) - Still meritocratic - Oh and the perks and socials are good craic too…
Cons
- Air-con wars (just like most smaller open plan offices) - If you DON’T want to keep your soul you won’t like it, best go to a corporate and become a number in a LMS
