Pros

Has a big self e learning platform where you can develop your skills and learn new skills at your own leisure.

Cons

This role requires you to overwork - you are constantly held on a call after your shift and company will only pay you for 15 min interval therefore if you finished at 6.10pm you only get paid 15 mins overtime 2 months later. The role also requires you to do a long Saturday shift without a day of in the week therefore you could be working 6 days a week for two weekends in a row again this is not in your contract and you have no choice but to do it or leave. The overtime again is paid two months later. I don't think this employer is a people person you are constantly monitored for everything and dragged to give up weekends!

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
