Pros

Honestly, not one single thing.

Cons

-I was 'let go' after finding out what people where up to in the office. -A colleague was forced to work even though she had a sick note & had major surgery. -Sexism was ridiculous, so many inappropriate discussions / comments and actions. -Targeted on fake job advertisements (which is illegal) -Ridiculous working hours 7am to 7pm -Pressure to do things you didn't want to do and treated like rubbish in general I have never worked anywhere as degrading, rude, unappreciative and overall abysmal. Rob was nice though.
