Pros

Commission on sales based campaigns is paid promptly and well. Good training scheme to get new starters acclimatised to the company and department they will be working in.

Cons

Incredibly high staff turnover - majority of new starters (60-70%) will leave within a month. Low wage tier staff are considered disposable and not valued as employees in any way. Poor management with little feedback on job performance. Progression through the company is next to impossible due to constantly changing advancement programs, rendering courses obsolete before staff have completed them. Promotions are given solely on the basis of whoever is friends with management - performance matters little compared to drinking with managers on a Friday night. Oppressive working environment in many departments.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
