Pros

Location was good. Had a good amount of freedom to perform your duties. Updating tech was a big initiative. The lower level of management and non-management personnel were largely friendly and helpful. Promotions would become available often because of the high turnover in some departments. Marketing had a lot of investment.

Cons

You were honestly treated like a number by your own manager, they didn't care if it was you they were shouting at or another soul that would take your job. My own manager barely spoke to me, the director even worse. Very little support or development beyond sending you on a course so they didn't have to spend time with you. If you managed to get promoted because someone left, there would be even less time spent with you than before. You were on your own, so people would likely move on from their promotion in a year or so. Lots of fully capable but under trained staff that the company could benefit from if they tried harder and gave them more respect. The company floats on the revenue of a handful of big accounts so there is no real thanks for bringing in business that isn't huge, it's just more work for the account teams. The HR department are at the centre of most office rumours unfortunately, little to no confidentiality, would often go in for one issue and come out with stories. Multiple departments had members take time off with stress, I did not but I can see how those members of staff got there. Lots of unhappy people that could have the relationship with the company transformed if the time was taken to learn about them as individuals.

Pros

easy progression and fair career opportunity

Cons

very stingy and calculative, bad salary, NO benefits at all. I am asked to use my cell phone and go to meet client/suppliers but not a cent of allowance is granted. The working culture is very political. Messy organization!! I am always asked to work during weekend and even on my day off. No compensation will be offered for OT!!
