Pros
Great range of interesting clients and subsequently interesting projects to work on in many fields. Great mix of people, we are an extremely diverse team in terms of age, cultures and backgrounds which is very interesting to me on a personal level however is invaluable to our business and clients. We enjoy a very open and collaborative working environment from graduates through to the MD there is pretty much an open door policy, from business issues to personal development queries we are encouraged to consult with our peers/superiors. We have the security of a large business with the culture of a small business, we all know (and like) each other and are quite free to be innovative whilst working, with freedom to get involved in other areas of the business within WRC as well as our large parent company. We're in the middle of a period of change at the moment so I enjoy knowing my ideas could maybe have a real impact on how the business moves forward. Non typical for our sector we don't get forced to work all the hours in the day some of us do chose to work out of hours but generally get the time back when it is a little quieter in the office.
Cons
Traffic can be quite bad on Mondays so it can sometimes prove a long commute potentially missing a parking space which can be quite hard to find if the little high street is really busy.
Pros
The most important thing for me is the projects that we work on are interesting and the clients that we work with are amazing companies. I feel like we work in partnership with them and provide a really high quality service that helps them deal with critical business decisions - not just about recruitment. For that reason, I can't imagine working anywhere else. Things are really improving now, so its worth sticking around. We are now much more of a team and everyone is feeling more positive.
Cons
Communication from the MD especially and wider leadership team needs to improve, but this is slowly happening. We have been through a lot of change and there has been some staff turnover. I think the people remaining are fantastic and actually we are better off without some of those that have left - for various reasons. The way that some of the changes have been made has not been great to be on the receiving end of (again mainly due to communication) but hopefully we are past most of that now.
