Easy room for promotion if you show willing, yet no expectation to work extra hours, managers are all welcoming and approachable, staff days out, early finish incentives, social vibe to the office, plenty of chance to make friends, great commission to be made.

No remote working options - although office environment better suited for the type of work.
