      Pros

      Great company, thriving in the sector, growing and lots of job opportunities. Incredible flexible and understanding and accomodating. Offices are incredible and work alongside and for some great leaders and people.

      Cons

      Pay and progression is limited Previous experience doesn't count for much in progressing Above and beyond is only recognised depending on your manager You'll be picking up the scraps and cleaning the mistakes of new employees on the same wage. The route to payrise is at the expense of your personal lives or availability of further study. Access to progression is limited to 1 level up and rarely next to never sideways and then up.

      No HR or management communicating to each other ??

      Pros

      Clean, friendly work environment. Seemed like everyone was willing and wanting to help new starters. Amazing benefits and fantastic facilities accessible to employees (only after the 6 month probation period).

      Cons

      Management don't seem to communicate to each other, no one really knows what they are doing. GDPR laws were not abided, and management did not seem to care about this. Situations were not handled delicately or professionally- safeguarding does not seem to exist. Probation period is six months long; so if you don't meet their targets or if you do one simple thing wrong they have ample time to weed out employees that they do not like. A very cliquey team, they all seem to protect each other even when they are completely in the wrong, although this makes sense as they rather indulge in their Friday Family Dinners.
