Pros

The people, the training, the career path and the opportunity for you to run your own area are all amazing! Having worked for the competition previously I can honestly say this is the best recruitment company to work for in the UK.

Cons

It is long hours, very competitive and hard work but that all pays off through the rewards you are given and the career path that is in place.

Pros

Great team Good people in the office Good rewards for hard work Good potential for progression Great opportunities Clearly a higher class recruitment company compared to the competition

Cons

It is a really long day, an hours lunch should be encouraged to be spent away from the desk. I think 5.30 would be ok to leave
