Pros

Good benefits, relaxed environment and great retail products. People will always help you if you ask and for the most part they are very friendly.

Cons

Dominated by Spanish employees, particularly in London, and not because they're good at what they do. Don't expect to get anywhere unless you are a networking genius, can speak Spanish and know someone who knows someone. While they always speak of the 'opportunities that exist' they don't always speak of who can get you there - because it more than likely isn't your own hard work. Promotions and leadership roles will always go to the Spanish.

Pros

-Promotions are based on skill -You will be mostly left alone if you preform well -Great bonuses and employee ranking system, makes the work fun and competitive -Easy to take time off, because you're one of 500 employees doing the same thing. You individual job isn't necessary for the business to go about it's business

Cons

-Customer calls are somewhat micro-managed, which makes it harder to collect due to the robotic cadence. You have to learn how to naturally hit -Lots of mandatory overtime -Training is from people who have never done the job -Company will do away with you without question, even if you're their most productive and successful employees
