Pros
Reasonable salary for industry Opportunity to get on if you're willing to play the game and give up your evenings in the week... Nice people in the majority
Cons
Work-life balance not encouraged. Offices and systems are not fit for purpose. People in management positions are not necessarily the right people to be managing others and this is not recognised. Quite a lot of favouritism going on, no chance of being recognised unless you work late every night and never challenge anything, no matter how good you are at your job. Too much expected of people on lower grades (not including myself here), but certain managers didn't seem to recognise that their admin teams weren't on the same pay scale as them and so shouldn't be subjected to the same pressures and expectation to do long hours. Very much a feeling that employees are expendable.
