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

Business Outlook

Pros

Very friendly teams all round that you don't feel afraid to ask help or advice from. Great team work all round and nice working environment. Really good company incentives that make you feel part of a community, encouragement from higher management and everyone is treated equally.

Cons

I wouldn't really class this as a con as I like to be constantly engaged with work but like any company there are busy periods with higher volumes of work but at no point does this feel unachievable as there is a vast amount of support and help when needed!
