Pros

Allow for opportunity, allow you to progress and do nurture you Amazing staff members, genuine friends made for life Promotes a good social life Very good company benefits for a fairly small company Nice atmosphere in the office Taught me a LOT which has helped me in my career and my development

Cons

Pay is quite unfair, admin staff for e.g earn a lot less but put in more hours supporting, Let the good staff go Expect a lot but (due to pay) not much pay out which can be fairly disheartening

Pros

You got to do what you like,as long as you kept your mangers happy. The directors are easy to talk to. Very welcoming.

Cons

They make you work hard all year and only to disappoint you. Management do not push you to where you want to go. It was like being in a school playground. Lots of girls being nasty towards each other

Pros

Energy: Academia is one of the most vibrant companies that I have worked for. There is always a buzz around the office and I feel part of something exciting. Enthusiasm: The MD is passionate and enthusiastic about the company and his door is always open to any member of staff who wants to talk to him. People: There are some great people working here. A good few have worked here for a very long time and to me that's always a sign of a great place to work. Everyone is friendly and approachable and there is a god sense of loyalty and commitment to the business. Development: If you want to develop your career this is a very supportive and encouraging place to be. The management team will listen to you and help to develop a career plan and it's up to you how much you get out of it - the more initiative I have shown the more reward I have been given. Rewards: The company are very generous at rewarding their staff. The Christmas party is always a highlight and there are regular events during the year to celebrate success or to get staff together.

Cons

I would say the location is probably the only con for me as I can't go shopping in my lunch break and there aren't many good places to eat. But on a positive note it means I don't spend as much money in my lunch break!
