Pros

The people are amazing! All the way from office support through to senior management - they are a fantastic group and make everyone feel instantly welcome and part of the family. I genuinely love my job and look forward to coming into the office every day. The culture and environment is like no other recruitment agency, collaboration is encouraged and work/life balance is fully supported.

Cons

Pay is under market rate but the job satisfaction outweighs that and what you might not get in salary you make up for in other benefits.
