Pros

The biggest pro in any job is waking up on a morning and looking forward to coming to work! I get that every day and am very grateful for that. The atmosphere is relaxed but everybody stays motivated because of the work/life balance and general support you get.

Cons

"Fish & chips Fridays" - bad for the waistline!! (No genuine ones)

Pros

I thoroughly enjoyed working for The Distance and was sad to go. For me the benefits were: * Diverse and friendly team * Great office culture * High spec equipment * Ensured we had all equipment needed to work comfortably and efficiently at home * Varied and interesting projects * Regular social meet ups (pre covid) * Well defined process for new business and lifecycle of project * Learn a lot and gain a lot of experience through the variety of projects * Training courses available to employees * Regular company meetings on state of business and forum to express views and suggestions * MD is very creative and active in the company which leads to an influx of interesting and industry varied projects * Company take mental health and wellbeing very seriously, there was always someone I could talk to if needed

Cons

There's not many cons I can think of; * Not a lot of time for learning/training during working hours, need to learn on your feet often - the plus side is you learn a lot and gain experience quickly, but can be a bit stressful * Work pace is quite fast and varies on a daily basis - I enjoyed this, but it's not to everyone's taste * During the pandemic, while WFH - Work-life balance could be hard to maintain, but management are approachable and empathetic. * Perks package could be improved

Thank you, we really valued the contribution you made to the company over the many years you supported us. We created a whole new stream of business together. We wish you well on your next adventure and look forward to catching up over a few drinks in York sometime soon
