Pros

Opportunity for promotion. (If you're a part of the click) Money is good if you're PH not salary. Great customers.

Cons

50+ hours a week. The money looks good on paper but when you divide salary by hours worked per week in some instances you're on less than customer assistants. Thier payroll system is very poor and I am yet to have expenses paid back to me. Poor communication between departments. If you're happy to sign your life away and do the crazy amount of hours they expect of you (very unsociable hours too) then crack on but in my experience this wasn't for me; I've since found work that is 52 less hours contracted a month (not including the other time expecting of you) and the money is better. There really is more to life than this, do not be fooled.
