Pros

None that is worth it

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit you have no chance even if you meet your monthly targets . Given no guidance when I first started . Only stayed one year . Such a back stabbing company

Pros

Not many, if I'm honest. Some of the IT team are lovely.

Cons

Please prepare yourself for expectations to be WAY beyond the initial job description, the actual job spec and what you're told during the lackadaisical approach to bringing you up to speed. Leadership (namely Service Operations) live in cloud cuckoo land and expect you to have every aspect of the company, it's culture, it's inner working and who's who to be nailed within 3 months. Also expect to be ringfenced from the business leadership - there's clearly some major issues going on within IT and the perception of the systems. The complaints are endless and they're all met with lip service and dead air.

Pros

Reasonable pay, no supervision, office is in a convenient location

Cons

Process & procedure is non existent, you do as the fee earner tells you and then cop the wrath from HR later, junior fee earners are not properly supervised, end of month is a disaster because the fee earners do not submit their time sheets on time, partners do not really engage with staff, secretaries are expected to do the job of an admin assistant, no salary increase instead we were offered one off small bonuses, no pay for overtime, secretary's annual lunch was withdrawn as a benefit, being led my peers who lack tact, diplomacy and fairness.
