      Concerning Leadership/Management Choices

      Pros

      Amazing social aspect. Lots of events, clubs.

      Cons

      -Promote bullying. I noticed team leads who had been called up for bullying or problematic behaviours progress further than those who deserved it. - Poor training - Lack of progression for SOME teams, though they won't tell you that until you're in there. Some other teams have more room to advance.

      A great start to a professional career but needs much improvement

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits package - Great social events - Friendly people - Flexible working - Supportive of staff

      Cons

      - Salary is not in line with current market. I am doing the same job for a lot more money now elsewhere. - Lack of progression. - Favours fee earning staff - Overtime culture (especially for paralegals) for little reward.
