Pros

Getting to work with great partners - some very talented and experienced people with great client relationships. Exposure to clients means you can feedback into the marketing toolkit which is very positive. Lots of room for personal entrepreneurship such as picking up additional projects although there is limited scope for other career progression.

Cons

Little room in marketing for career progression, and very little support unless you are one of the select few. Low morale in the marketing team leading to little teamwork across the business, and initiatives to bring more team spirit squashed by the Marketing Director.

Pros

-Staff are nice and friendly. -Not bad location, (Central area) -Salary and bonus are relatively standard as compared to the market

Cons

-Poor career opportunities due to the lack of transparency. -Upper management politics affects the firm from the junior to the senior staff. -Poor work morale, staff joining less than 6 months are counting down to the end of the bond. -Poor upper management leadership that consistently overwrites the middle management. -Staff strength is small, unfair distribution of work load can be seen across all levels. -HR policies are amended without proper channels to inform the staff. -Unfair policies that greatly disadvantage the staff. (minimum notice period is 2 months) -3 year laptop bond, laptops provided are low end. 3 year bond is armotised when the contract is signed based on cost, not market value of the laptop when the bond is signed. Laptops are usually bought in bulk and earlier. Market value of laptop is usually 100 -200 lesser than the cost when the bond is signed.
