Pros
From day one, I felt like I wasn’t just “a number”. People actually take time to explain why we do things, not just what to do. The training is structured, but I don’t feel micromanaged. I know what’s expected of me each week, and I’m clear on what “good” looks like. There’s a big focus on quality over quantity. It’s reassuring to know we’re encouraged to place the right candidates, not just anyone, which makes me feel proud of the work. Managers are approachable and present. If I’m stuck, I can ask questions without feeling silly or like I should already know everything. Feedback is regular and constructive. I always know where I’m doing well and what I need to improve, which helps me feel more confident. The standards are high, but that’s motivating rather than intimidating. It makes me want to raise my own game. There’s a real sense that the work matters — schools rely on us, candidates trust us, and that gives the role meaning beyond just targets. I've also already got the chance to go on a trip and hit an extra bonus in ny first 6 weeks. Socials coming up I'm excited for and the office is being refurbished so I can't wait for this too.
Cons
The standards are high, which can feel overwhelming at first. There’s a lot to learn quickly, and it’s obvious when you haven’t mastered something yet. It’s not for everyone — if you want a very relaxed, low-expectation environment, this probably wouldn’t suit you.
