Pros

Good place to get experience before moving on. Benefits package is very good, unfortunately not much else.

Cons

The management are absolutely awful. Regularly watched managers walk across the floor past disengaged employees who would sit and chat all day without doing any work and do nothing about it. Productivity was at an all time low. Managers were given no support or training to do their role, were for the most part under qualified for the role and gave little to no support. MD's door perpetually shut, hardly ever saw him. Bonuses awful despite seeing the millions of dollars of revenue we had apparently made, can only assume it all went to those at the top. Worked several hours underpaid overtime, saw extreme staff turnover whilst I was there (my team went from 8 to 2 in 3 years) and colleagues were nasty, unprofessional and would do anything to stab you in the back. Don't waste your time.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
