Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits (flexible time, ISA etc.) - Relaxed work ethic, but still with the need to get things done. A fairly healthy balance

Cons

- Work is repetitive and it can be hard to progress in skills and in pay past a certain point - The IT department is the worst I have come across
