Pros
I joined Navartis almost 6 years ago and have had my fair share of ups and downs in my time here. The hours are fair, the pay is good and the bonus is generous. You get regular recognition, promotions and pay rises if you are doing a good job and are hitting targets. Regular team and company nights out paid for by the business such as meals out, go-karting etc. Friendly and bustling office atmosphere which is a pleasure to work in. Great training given from senior staff and constant ongoing support from the managers. What Navartis provided me with is all the tools and training to succeed in a hard job.
Cons
Having never worked in recruitment before, I soon realised that the industry is hard and if you don’t have a can-do attitude, recruitment will eat you up and spit you out. I came from a sales background where the product I sold couldn’t change its mind but in recruitment the product you sell is professional people who can change their mind which creates so many things that can trip you up. Recruitment is a hard job but a rewarding one if you can get your head around the process of placing an individual into a senior position. Taking calls outside of working hours is part of the job and a necessary one if you want to succeed in this role. If you want a job where you can switch off at 17:15pm then this isn’t for you. Although, in my 6 years here I can honestly say that the good times outweigh the bad.
