Pros

Culture and colleagues were awesome. Everyone is so helpful

Cons

Upper management do nothing instead of micromanaging and checking unreasonable KPIs. Managers are just grilling on small things like not logging calls which is not as important as making placements. If you are making placements you are the star or they will pick you on small things. You are forced to work even if sick because weekly KPIs and targets need to be met. They set irrational targets. Even the managers compete with you and take the best deals. Some roles are shared only with select people and others are not given fair chance. The probation is more or less like an exam and will actually stress you out to the point of sanity
