Pros

it's a job. and they pay a good salary, plus bonuses. so if you need a job, it's a good option if you're stress-resilient or while you're looking for something else they offer a good training program in the beginning

Cons

they're so desperate to make money that they'd do anything for it, so they're lying a lot to both candidates and clients. they even lie to employees to get them in and once they're there, surprise, the huge list of clients they were advertising is virtually nonexisting and you have to find your own. I hear they even had some manager commit fraud and invent fake clients so he can bill and get bonuses. it's a very stressful environment, but then again, agency recruitment usually is. most of the employees while I was there at least were young Irish, 20-somethings, which can be fun, as long as you're not any different. there was one non-Irish employee in the entire company while I was there and they didn't last long. no one does anyway, high attrition rate.

Pros

Zero pro's - do yourself a favour and don't work here.

Cons

The culture here is the most toxic I've ever experienced. The management are bullies. Look elsewhere or stay unemployed - this place is terrible for your mental health.

Pros

The team is extremely welcoming and supportive, they are ready to help at any time. The office is based in the WeWork building which offers great amenities including free coffee, dog-friendly offices, shower facilities, Yoga/Pilate classes, Wellness room, Pool table, great Canteen space, ideal location based right across from the green Luas line with a lot of great restaurants close by.

Cons

There hasn't been any cons so far. It is quite a small team of 7, but everyone on the team has acquired extremely valuable experience within the Accounting, Finance, Tax and Legal space. Personally I do not mind working in a smaller team but others might, so this would be the only potential Con if someone prefers larger teams.
