Pros

Great place to work, club team and regional support is brilliant. Everyday is different but always fun and challenging. Health and fitness sector is so refreshing and the members are great. Everyone is happy and as you are at work a long time this is really important. Best company I have worked for in a long time. Proud to work for such a great company.

Cons

Sometimes investment is challenging and takes a lot of time. Hours can be unsociable but it's what you make it.
