Corporate financial role
Pros
• Lots of training provided, helpful coworkers and upper management. • Free fruit in the morning and free lunch which is very varied and changes every week. • Lots if benefits including eye test vouchers and Bike to Work program. • 40-50% discount in stores and online. • Sample sales once in a while. • Good holiday allowance and Winter and Summer days off and/or shortened working hours. • The CEO and upper management always keep in touch with their employees through meetings and get-togethers • Open plan office area which is very warm and welcoming meaning that you're never isolated and you can always ask for help. • Lots of discount with various partners such as gym, dry cleaners and beauty salons. • The list could go on and on it's just amazing!
Cons
• Even if technically possible, you cannot work from home. • Sometimes the pressure can be overwhelming due to all the deadlines and meetings and reviews. • There is a sort of stiffness in the way things are done, and although they try to work on it, it never improves. • Outdated POS systems means that a lot of work involves correcting and analysing errors that could be avoided altogether. • Corporate management systems means that you will have to sit through a lot of meetings and seminars that only steals your own time that could be spent on work, meaning that sometimes you will have to stay longer than the contracted hours.
