Pros

Option to travel but only if you are support staff.

Cons

Political. Owner of the business will happily walk past you and ignore you along with some of the directors acting in the same fashion. Not interested in you unless you work past 6pm every evening. No work/life balance. You are considered to be leaving early if you leave at your contracted time, and given no respect if you do so. Lack of career progression unless you are one of the directors friends.

**Cons** * Leadership and management can feel inconsistent, with limited strategic direction at times. * Career progression and recognition may not always align with employee expectations. * Compensation growth and bonus structures can be less competitive than some employees anticipate. * Work-life balance can be challenging, particularly for teams supporting clients across multiple regions and time zones. * Cross-regional collaboration may be difficult due to differing priorities, communication styles, and organizational dynamics. * Internal relationships and informal networks can have a significant impact on how effectively work gets done. * Accountability and ownership can sometimes feel unclear, leading to frustration when issues arise. * Employees who prefer a high degree of autonomy may find certain processes and decision-making structures restrictive.
