Pros

Top company to work for, the benefits are superb and everyone looks after each other. Clientel are pretty awsome too! ranges from day to dayers' to top end tax payers! :P and the gym guys know their stuff so info's really easy to find out, they have all been there first hand so know what we want and how we could achieve our goals, cant say much more, just good Craic.

Cons

Busy, very very busy at times and can get stressfull but everyones really relaxed but focused and the other departments will have your back which is pretty awsome, and when its all done you can gather yourself and regroup for the next surge of hungry gym go'ers or even family day out'ers!
