      Pros

      Generally good bonus structure particularly if the overall team does well. Opportunity to earn good money per quarter bonus if you are a high achiever. You have the opportunity to buy 3 more days annual leave per year. - Quite a young office - Work life balance very good, despite starting at 8am every one is out the door at 5.30 with no work to take home.

      Cons

      Office doesn't reflect the wealth and size of the company, no space to eat lunch. Depressing environment, people stay for the sake of the money, the impression is there's no real employee satisfaction or enjoyment outside of pay cheques every quarter. At times feels like a glorified call centre - too focused on call stats. Serious lack of structured training for new staff. You are sat around twiddling thumbs for a couple of months asking for things to do. Lots of bureaucracy because it's such a huge company so basic HR processes can take weeks to get done. Feels like an Account Management role rather than sales half the time, the work can be very mundane. Doesn't have the perks you would expect from a company of this wealth or size.

      Pros

      Great benefits, opportunities to develop in different areas (horizontal movement must of them).

      Cons

      Low salary, local management vision isn't clear, and the employees don't come first.
