      Pros

      I absolutely love working for VA! There's not a day when I wake up and think "Do I have to go to work?". I regularly say I have the best job ever. VA embody many of the values and traits I value in myself and expect every member of my team to hold! From being treated how you would like to be treated and being accountable for your actions. Every day is different and provides lots of opportunities for Internal progression, opportunities and development along with opportunities for personal development through the free buddy membership for a friend. Who doesn't enjoy working out with their best friend? Having qualified team members is amazing, to ensure members receive quality service. Hours are flexible but can be long at times. Regional Support is amazing! I cannot thank them enough for all there help as I settle into my new role. I am very Proud to work for such a great company.

      Cons

      Long Hours and Pay. The rate of pay is lower than what is expected for the role and sector, however, I would much rather love coming to work and work with amazing people rather than chasing a massive salary & being unhappy in my job.
