Pros

It looks good on the CV. Most people are equally as horrified by the place so it's good to bond over.

Cons

Truly awful place to work. The company is mostly run by narcissists and self-serving nutjobs. Since having a large restructure, the top tier management was careful in selecting new staff who are just as horrible to work with as the previous bunch, somehow creating an even more toxic atmosphere. I've never known a place where legitimately most people you speak to are actively looking/trying to leave. Due to the status of the club, they will forever attract bright young talent that wish to work hard, but inevitably get ground down after months until they decide to leave. Lots of bullying, micromanaging and people very, very unskilled at their jobs. Typically lots of people with friends in high places so some rules apply to some people, while not to others. HR department is beyond a joke - having had the same concerns voiced to them by multiple people, they'll actively ignore feedback and are happy to let the toxicity run rife. I truly wouldn't recommend working there even for the CV benefit, as you'll look back incredibly negatively on the club in the future.
