Pros

Exposure to a big multinational business. The company has recently taken it upon itself to improve its practices with the CX (Customer Experience) initiative.

Cons

Not enough staff for the amount of work needing to be done and no urgency to recruit suitable candidates. Staff not paid well enough (leading to high turnover of staff). Not enough development opportunities in non-sales roles.
