Pros

10% discount is about it

Cons

New starters are paid more than the existing staff. So you’re training people that are being paid much more than yourself, a big incentive to leave

Pros

Great chance to prove yourself and progress Good team culture, lots of fun at work activities Pay and benefits are brilliant Work life balance is good - you are not expected to do overtime, if you do you accrue it to take back.

Cons

A lot of set processes and procedures from head office, it can be quite rigid
