Business Outlook

Pros

The workplace is always exciting and full of bubbly people who are always around to give a helping hand. It feels like a big community with a plethora of outside work activities to get involved with form nights out to yoga sessions. It's a thriving new company with ridiculously good growth for such a young business. The industry has lots of things you can learn with many areas for expertise training.

Cons

The first few weeks can be quite overwhelming if you haven't worked in a bustling office environment before. There is a lot to learn in a short space of time with training, even if the training & trainers is really good.
