Good work life balance, current manager is encouraging and pushes for personal development where possible.

Pros

the job is easy, no real pressure to hit numbers etc...

Cons

the whole time I've been here I've gone above and beyond my role, out performing tenured staff and trained new staff coming in. my last pay review i was made to feel like the additional comensation was a great increase and only been made possible by my work ethic. just to now find out new starters with 0 years spent in even just sales are on the same as me. pretty shocked
