Pros

Good on the CV Generally knowledgable staff in offices Reasonable Training Programme Generous lunch allowance

Cons

Long hours - often due to being on more than one job at a time, which leads to a lack of focus on every job Politics - it's all down to appearances, rather than actual work performed Lack of intuitive technology - although improving, it is still faulty Top management don't seem to have a clue (One Firm Event, constant changes to policies) Stress related to work - due to long hours, lack of support from supervisors (who are also overworked) Lack of departmental resources - leading to long hours at work and constant juggling of jobs Salary structure comparable to industry, but nothing special - market rate and no higher Benefits not great - can actually gain better discounts by going to places and asking for discounts Performance review system very poor and not understandable

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
