Pros

If you are prepared to work hard and put the right level of energy and effort in to your role this is one of the most rewarding roles with an amazing team culture, everyone supports everyone and the opportunity to learn everyday is second to none. Support from management is always there and nothing is ever to much to help you excel in your role

Cons

There is no denying recruitment has its ups and its downs and you have to have a level of resilience to dig in when the downs do come, but everyone will help you get out of that rut, you're not on your own!

Pros

Free parking and that’s it

Cons

Toxic CEO who gets her kicks out of bullying people. Unsophisticated leadership culture, CEO thinks money is the be all and end all. Awful.

Pros

-The company’s values and ethos aren’t just statements on a wall—they actively shape day-to-day decisions and are consistently front and centre in everything we do. There’s always a clear purpose behind the work, which makes it meaningful and motivating. -Senior leadership lead by example—their work ethic sets the tone for the business and earns genuine respect. They never ask for anything they wouldn’t do themselves, and that integrity creates a strong sense of unity. -Trust is deeply embedded in the culture. You’re given autonomy, flexibility, and the space to deliver in a way that works for you—no micromanagement, just mutual respect and accountability.

Cons

None. It's fast-paced which mightn't suit everyone, but if you're looking for personal growth you'll find it here.
