Pros

Regular wage, pension. That is it really. Not much else to say but I have to put 20 words minimum.

Cons

No development opportunities, no progression, no support. If you want a career especially as a graduate I would look elsewhere.

Pros

Very good work life as each day is different, there are lots of different departments so transfers options are available. You get to meet different people everyday however it is not a job for someone who doesn't want to work hard.

Cons

Watch the hierarchical system. Beware. Work is taken home as there isn't enough time to do work in the office.Sometimes there is a large caseload. Managers have meetings about meetings.
