Pros
Interesting work, never a dull moment, great colleagues - enjoying the job more than most others I have ever had. Finally a company that listens to my crazy ideas and actually encourages me to explore them, then add them into the company portfolio and help them develop to fruition. I look forward to work, enjoy it, and miss it when I'm not doing it. The company is respectful of my personal and family needs (which have been slightly disruptive in my first year of employment) and I get on with the senior management team really well. We are looked after on a number of levels, and trusted completely. I was an unconventional recruit into my role, but have been supported to grow into something that better fits my abilities and personality, and will look forward to a long career here. My previous employer was exactly the opposite, people weren't trusted, trained, there was a blame culture, and lots of stress - despite me being a very experienced professional, I found it tough going - in my role at SMG, I am genuinely proud to be part of something exciting.
Cons
The 4 star rating below (the only one) is only there because I choose to work more hours than I need to, and am regularly told to work less :) Despite the unlimited holiday and 4.5 day week... It's really my own doing, and not the company.
