Pros

The work in their Edinburgh call centre was casual which meant that you could work the hours which suited you.

Cons

The work was often unavailable. The casual staff were treated as second class citizens with a real "them and us" mentality from the management team who never worked after 530 despite the majority of the work happening at evening and weekends. The toilets leaked constantly but they were never fixed. Management were aggressive and never listened beyond giving it lip service. The morale was awful, everyone I knew left over the course of a few years because the managements attitude towards non-contracted members of staff was so bad. A few people even had to take them to court over their behaviour.

Pros

The company is well-revered and there is no doubt that they have opened a lot of doors for recruiters and other types of positions. The work is challenging, and pretty fulfilling when you're faced with a really complex problem that requires a complex solution--you work hard and long and are able to produce something really great and generate great insights. Management is friendly and approachable, but that's where it stops.

Cons

Senior Management is clueless when it comes to keeping their employees happy. They have no comprehension of the tension that exists in the office among junior staff, and if they do, they're not making any concerted efforts to fix it. People have been leaving left right and center because everyone has realized you work long hard hours and there is little compensatory benefits (ie. no bonus or raises), and it seems like there's been a promotion freeze. Junior people are getting stuck in their roles, and seeing senior people being hired ahead of them instead of being promoted. Even now the President of NA has been made aware of this website and instead of taking these reviews as feedback for how to better the organization he's simply told everyone to write good reviews so that we can maintain the image of being a great company to work for. He doesn't see to understand that you can't tell people to say nice things, you have to give them a reason to say nice things.

Not a place for high performers

Pros

Work life balance If you are patient and ready to coast for 20+ years and wait for retirement, this is the place for you

Cons

Slow to adapt to industry changes People are very mediocre, very few innovative thinkers. Most are button pressers and paper/email pushers Does not reward high performers. You get a pat on the back and slap on the wrist for setting up the standard too high for the rest of the group. Never shows up with big raises or promotions. Promotion is more about tenure
