Pros

Great company to get you started in a corporate environment. All my experience was positive with this company. Only left for my own personal progression and in a different industry.

Cons

None that I experienced at the company.

Pros

I met a great bunch of people and I think this is the only thing that kept me going in this company.

Cons

Being abused over the phone by customers, office politics. No room for growth within the company. Fake transparency and pretending like they care about their employees opinions when clearly they don’t.

Easy role

Pros

Simple and easy work with little interference from management as long as you can work to targets. You can listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks to pass the time as the role doesn't require much thinking. I was lucky to work in multiple countries as it's a global organisation.

Cons

Very low salary compared to other companies
