Pros

Loads of career opportunities if you have a Degree and under the age of 35 with the their fast stream and Pathway recruitment schemes that ran yearly.

Cons

If you haven't got a degree then this is when the Home Office falls flat on it's face and there is a culture that anyone without a degree seem to be "Not Capable" of progressing up the promotion ladder where staff that have been in the position for 10 years + who have tried and failed to get promotion due to not having a "Degree" and disregards years of experience that could prove invaluable to the organization as a whole!
