Pros

- Great to get your foot in the door for buying experience. - Lovely members of management and peers. - Food was decent and cute event pop ups. - Free gym in the office

Cons

- Overworked massively with targets unreachable and consistently told off for it. - Stayed late, usually the last one working in the office in my team then told off for not finishing workloads frequently. - Office is far-away making the commute tiresome and difficult at times. - 'Bullying' behaviour from my buyer, not much was done when disclosed. - Left due to mental health reasons largely due to the treatment from my manager, but also workload, poor pay, office was too far away. - Underpaid at the time, the lowest in any company and role in London. Though I think this has now changed. - Promotion was held like a carrot to a donkey, with little training and support involved.
