Business Outlook

Pros

Good on the CV Generally knowledgable staff in offices Reasonable Training Programme Generous lunch allowance

Cons

Long hours - often due to being on more than one job at a time, which leads to a lack of focus on every job Politics - it's all down to appearances, rather than actual work performed Lack of intuitive technology - although improving, it is still faulty Top management don't seem to have a clue (One Firm Event, constant changes to policies) Stress related to work - due to long hours, lack of support from supervisors (who are also overworked) Lack of departmental resources - leading to long hours at work and constant juggling of jobs Salary structure comparable to industry, but nothing special - market rate and no higher Benefits not great - can actually gain better discounts by going to places and asking for discounts Performance review system very poor and not understandable
