        Pros

        Excellent partner benefits such as a 12.5% discount of items in Waitrose and a 25% discount in John Lewis. Colleagues are warm and welcoming and management ensures that you feel supported in the workplace at all times.

        Cons

        As with any retail position, dealing with tricky customers can always be seen as a downfall to the job - however this is unavoidable!

      Case Analyst

      Just venting: Is anyone else fed up with the usernames, passwords, authentication codes, email verification, etc.? Most hiring companies use workday, items, and Taleo but each company on those sites requires a different password. It is just another layer to the job search process.

      Project Coordinator

      I recently had an interview with a hiring manager. The conversation went well in my opinion and they ended it by saying they would “like to schedule a day for me to meet their team and get a feel for the projects they’re working on and then have the conversation about what I’m looking for as far as compensation.” I’m not sure what to expect from this, a part of me feels like this means they might want me for the role, but the process is a little unorthodox from my experience. Any thoughts?

      Does anyone know the competency based questions you’ll be asked for a Business Development Analyst role at Aon? I have an upcoming pre-recorded online video interview that I have to submit within 7 days.
