Positive working environment
Approachable management
Good social events
Interesting sectors with a variety of work
Excellent admin department
Certainty over future
Cons
Training and development could be slightly improved with a clearer training plan & resources put in place.
Really relaxed, professional environment, great leadership both from the owners historically and particularly from the Directors who run the business day to day. They are still very hands on recruiters themselves and lead by example; giving us enough room to work the way we want to (but with strong guidelines) and yet being there when we need help or advice.
Cons
I personally would like the business to grow quicker, to be able to build a bigger team of recruiters and this is happening slowly. The owners are very cautious with investment, but on the other hand maybe that's why the company has been going over 40yrs....
Relative freedom to choose target markets
Low pressure environment
Fully expensed travel to meetings and entertaining
Established brand name offers security
Cash rich business
Cons
Lack of incentives and recognition for high achievers
Poor holiday entitlement (unless you have been there for more than 5 years)
Poor benefits package compared to the competition
Negative employees not dealt with and allowed to affect others
Lack of career progression
