Pros

Absolutely none, there was more flexibility and less micro management in my first role as a kitchen porter when I was 16.

Cons

Where to start? Let's start at Micro-management... I was advised on day 1 how compulsory it was to clock on at the beginning of my shift and off at the end. For a sales role, really? Furthermore, if this was forgotten, you'd be chased up first thing in the morning from C-Suite asking why it hadn't been done the day previous. Commissions? Sounded great at the interview, not so great when in the role. If you're happy to get your commissions drip fed to you over a 3 year period, then you might like this role. Customer Centric? If this is you then this isn't the company for you. Development constantly promised and not delivered, it's all about getting deals in and NOTHING else. Product? A legacy, on-prem product that looks dated, is dated and is simply being over taken. Quickly. No ability for flexible working. If you weren't with clients, you were in the office. If you did need to work from home, your business case would need to be pretty bullet proof.

Pros

- Convenient location in North Sydney with easy access to transport and amenities. Plenty of snacks and drinks available in the office too - Friendly and supportive colleagues. You'll always find someone to sit down and eat lunch with or have a good chat with - While the business is growing, they're still small enough that you can get to know everyone in the organisation (with some effort) - Business has a positive outlook and while career growth is not always possible, you are exposed to a lot of leaders with experience and guidance for those who ask for it - The business is quite transparent with overall strategy and does their best to keep employees in the loop. All hands meetings are typically quite insightful

Cons

- Workloads can be heavy, with many employees operating at or near full capacity - Internal processes and systems are still evolving, particularly following recent acquisitions. There are still some growing pains as the business continues to consolidate and streamline operations. - Onboarding can be tough - new starters need to be proactive in their learning and seeking assistance. Coming into the office regularly and making an effort to get to know everyone will go a long way to your success.
