      Pros

      - Support system around me is great - Never once felt uncomfortable about the corona virus issue. Working remotely and feeling safe under no pressure - Very helpful and happy fellow employers - Felt comfortable from day one - Very challenging but I am very amazed at what I have achieved in such a short space of time and that is through the support from my fellow employees - Company is so welcoming and not once feel sad

      Cons

      - Absolutely none so far. There has been difficult and challenging days but if you do not have that in a job you are in the wrong one

      Pros

      - Every individual has access to the variety of training, making it easy to find a system that caters to the new employee. - In-house technology, with ease of use. - Colleagues/ Team-Leaders/ Operations Managers on stand-by to assist with any queries or worries. - High industry standards, standing above the big six with pride and honesty. - Satisfaction shown by all members of staff. - 'Friday Dinners' Involve discussion and presentations with the directors of the business, giving a sense of community and appreciation. - Renewable Energy!

      Cons

      - Not necessarily a con, just be prepared for the workload in the training period, almost like learning a new.

      Hard work, but worth it

      Energy specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - This is a workplace where you will be expected to work very hard and for those that really rise to the challenge, this can be an exceptionally rewarding experience. - The ability to work on different projects that you're interested in makes everyone's experience a little different. I have enjoyed tremendously the projects I have taken on. - Friday after work every week there's a well-stocked fridge ready for everyone to take from. It often feels very rewarding at the end of a hard week to have a drink and catch up with the team. - Octopus tend to hire a certain kind of person. I can't think of anyone in the office I actually dislike. - The offices look nice, green and bright. - Renewables and recycling feel at the core of everything we do.

      Cons

      - At times I have felt mentally drained and exhausted, though I have always been able to share this with operations managers and team leaders. - When I first joined the training was not exhaustive and not particularly engaging though I know that they've done things to improve on this. - There's limited scope for advancement. There are definitely opportunities, but if you're looking for an upward progression think more like a diagonal line. You will become more senior, and take on more responsibilities and in time this will reflect in salary, but team leader is probably the only direct progression.
