      Good pay, but bad working atmosphere

      Buying administrative assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For an admin job - this is well paid. You can move to different depts within the company (but within a team there is not much progression). Flexible working times.

      Cons

      Very stiff and conservative working atmosphere - most people are overworked in the buying/buying admin dept, so people are often very short with you (especially the buying team). Worked unpaid overtime everyday. Everything is always 'urgent' and 'business critical', so most days are stressful. The commute is really long and about to get longer with the office relocation. Lack of employee benefits - the discount is very small and not much else of worth is offered.

      Don’t do it

      District sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay, company car, great benefits, inclusion. That’s all I can say. Look elsewhere if you have a family or want to have a life outside of the workplace.

      Cons

      Zero work life balance, no upper management guidance, favoritism, cut throat peers etc. This job is only good for future advancement elsewhere.
