Pros

The ability to have nothing to do with Hays if you work onsite with one of their clients

Cons

Everything about Hays. I loved it when I started, however it has progressively hit rock bottom since a new LT were appointed. Constant redundancies, below market salaries, and most recently - implementing a policy where team members are unable to take longer than 10 consecutive days of annual leave without director approval (which team members have been told won't be approved anyway). If you wish to work for a company that has trust in their people and doesn't micromanage, Hays is not for you! A mass exodus is about to occur.
