Pros

Some nice coworkers, but can't think of very much at all to say about the company that is good Some nice coworkers, but can't think of very much at all to say about the company that is good

Cons

Some managers are idiots, who don't understand different desks / sectors. i.e. I had a manager who knew admin and low level finance jobs, but didn't / couldn't seem to understand that in senior finance I didn't have the same flow of jobs or candidates. They use threats to 'motivate' you even when you do really well - targets are always increased even when you're a top peformer.
