Pros

- Once full-time, there is a process to terminate. Not as easy to term a full-timer than a seasonal. - Decent salary, pay raises exist (many places don't increase pay EVER) - Work is not extremely difficult and is very rewarding - If you do your job and make your superiors' jobs easier, then you'll be fine

Cons

- Seasonals can be summarily reduced or laid off; extremely unclear which criteria are needed to be considered for full-time status. - Pay raises are half of what other companies can give (but also other companies may give no raises) - Lower-paid positions (under six figures) often having no bonus or incentive, while higher-paid (six figure) positions have a year incentive min 5% sometimes 10% your salary. This compounds the divide between who's who and who's not. - Some lower-paid positions (phone jobs and other front-line, customer-interactive positions) never increase pay. Either promote or leave the company. - Many inefficiencies make your job harder. If other depts and positions don't provide data or communication you need to facilitate a request, this is still (somehow) your fault for the request not getting done.

Pros

Great responsibility given from the start. You are really stuck in the deep end and expected to get on with it. So you will learn alot quickly in this role. Opportunities in whatever interests you is endless. Senior members are really open and approachable. Very little sense of hierarchy.

Cons

Stuck in the deep end can also be a bad thing, as you’re expected to do high level work even if you have little experience and technical knowledge. A very ‘swim or sink’ environment. That being said, if you are stuck on a piece of work, people are happy to guide you, and feedback is very detailed for you to learn and progress. Very long work hours, advertise as having a great work life balance but this is definitely not true. Be prepared to cancel plans last minute as you may get a request at 5pm for a work that takes several hours. This happens regularly. For an organisation that specialises in HR consultancy, pay is very under market (especially considering the extra hours you have to work, they even try and avoid increasing you pay in line with inflation), career progression is very slow (you can remain as an analyst for 2-3 years with no pay rise) and annual bonus is a joke (expect no more than £500) The above two points result in a high turnover, within the executive compensation department and when someone leaves, they dont hire a replacement, instead they pass on the extra work to you. Leading to higher workloads. Very top heavy. Their are approximately 10 directors, 3 senior consultants and 3 analysts. And as analysts do most of the groundwork be expected to work on a lot of projects

Pros

Flexible schedule, no micromanaging . Pension fully vested after 5 years. Very Casual work environment .

Cons

Change job descriptions to make you do more work without pay increase. . No definitive career path. Management is top heavy with very little actual workers or Producers. Hire Inexperienced workers who quit after a few weeks. Poor hiring team. Outsourcing as much as they can to save a dime. PTO is ridiculous.
