Pros

Work-Life Balance Culture Benefits Flexibility

Cons

This is standard across the industry and across the world, but naturally the interests of the shareholders come above the interests of the employees. Not mad at it, just a fact.

Good training and nice team, but pay is low

Senior digital assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good training opportunities and generally nice people to work within the team. You have the option to move around the business into different roles. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Pay below market rate, valued in praise but not pay recognition for your progression and increase in skills. Large company that you can't really impact, a lot of red tape and knowing the right people to make changes.
