Pros

Good money on the face of it

Cons

Absolutely horrific work life balance. The amount of hours you put in completely undermines the money you earn. Toxic environment there is absolutely no diversity. Travel to meetings at Stockley Park is mandatory and done on your time, regardless of which office you’re in. Think you can finish early to catch a flight home, think again. You must be in the office at 8:30am even if you’ve driven 5 hours from Newcastle/Scotland/Wales/Manchester/East coast/ flown in from Ireland. You must be visiting customers during working hours (8:30-5:15) and you drive home in your own time. Absolutely no leniency for personal circumstances. You must keep high KPIs regardless of holiday (over achieve on visits to make up for the annual leave you’re about to take which will pull your average down) The management structure is constantly crumbling in on itself, middle management leave and the gap never gets filled so it’s down to us to figure things out and fend for ourselves HR and management are unqualified to deal with anything outside daily business and offer no solid support past a bit of superficial empathy
