I worked at Met Office part-time
Pros
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff
Cons
Too much pressure on employees
I have been working at Sponge full-time for less than a year
Pros
Starting a new job during lockdown was an interesting experience (!) but Sponge have made it as painless as possible. I have been given all the tools needed for success and everyone is extremely... helpful and welcoming. Although I have yet to set foot in the office I already feel part of the team and my work is frequently recognised. My manager is absolutely fantastic - we have very open communication and she has already added so much value to my existing sales/account management skillset. She gives me regular feedback and we have weekly touchpoints which are very helpful. Sponge is a company that is going from strength to strength and I am confident there will be room for me to progress quicker than in other organisations in the area.
Cons
I genuinely cannot think of many downsides to working for Sponge other than the benefits package could have more in the way of holiday entitlement.
