Pros

Kennedys is going from strength to strength especially with the new Working Capital restructure within the finance department it is a pleasure to work here the heads of the department are extremely approachable and have made some really positive changes that have seen the department evolve and the morale of the departments improve. It is very exciting to see this evolve further

Cons

If you want to Progress there is a small margin to become higher within the department unless you are an admin role once you hit credit control there is not much progression available to you which is really unfortunate as you cannot progress to Management unless someone leaves or moves on
