Pros

Employee of the month cash prizes every month Friday Dress down day Fab Fridays organized every 4 weeks - Money spent on employees to just have a laugh and win prizes. Social committee created for us to submit social activities that management pay for! Charity committee created for us to take paid leave to do charitable work within working hours! In house training courses created for anyone to join for free Company pay for half of your study courses if applicable to your role. Bonuses and pay rises received even when company made its first loss in years. Great company values Most staff based in New Malden are a great laugh!

Cons

PCTs (System used to grade our goals and compensate us if goals achieved) are a waste of time.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
