Pros

They're very flexible. Hybrid working is a great bonus. Office facilities and it department on site is helpful.

Cons

The big slogan is where people matter. At the moment, please consider the following: a lot of your employees are over worked and underpaid. Other companies are offering a lot more money for the same job. Since the recent acquisition employees feel the pressure of having to perform better and taking on a bigger workload. Is this really beneficial when one can do a job half hearted and rushed ? Wouldn't it be better and in everyone's interest to distribute the work load and get things done right and propper? Employees are tired...tired of having so much on and having to justify us when we can't get things done because it is too much.

Pros

The training they provide as a new starter and the courses/presentations they run are informative. Opportunities are plentiful as people move on or are moved. Overall package; pay, pension, healthcare.

Cons

KPI focused, high call rates, unachievable budgets with little to none support from management. As an account manager you have little freedom to run your territory the way you intend to. Management check activity through car trackers and phone usage, zero trust. There is an "old boy" culture.

Too focused on Key Performance indicators. Do not trust all employees If your "Face fits" you'll be looked after Still an 'Old boys' network Obsessive about Call rates! Sometimes treated like a child No trust in Sales team Product managers "Set margins" but most don't understand the market! Too much 'Red tape' The Accountants "Run" the business
