Pros

- Good name to have on CV - You will develop bags of resilience due to having to deal with bad attitudes on a regular basis - Day goes quickly as far too much work / employee

Cons

- Incompetent management - makes it difficult to improve and progress - Hostile and aggressive culture - only way to succeed and progress is to simultaneously be a 'yes' man and act in a direct and aggressive manner - Grad scheme is non-existent - Admin work is monotonous, repetitive and not intellectually stimulating - Work life balance not encouraged - culture of doing overtime for the sake of it - Managers not able to support teams due to spending most of their time in (clearly not very helpful) meetings - No concern for employee wellbeing - Progression opportunities extremely limited
