Pros
- Senior Management are committed to the continued development of the company, as such, they are open to new and revised ideas on policies, procedures & structure. I personally have found that my proposals have been well received & feel responsible for changes implemented for the better. - I have found the opportunity to progress is an easy task within AFX as long as you display a positive attitude and work hard to deliver on your goals and targets. I have found myself with responsibilities that I may not have had the opportunity to take on so quickly in another organisation. It is good to know that management have this kind of faith in employees who want to progress their career. - A flatter structure than most organisations makes it easy for employees to approach managers as senior as the CEO & MD. - Expansion goals under AFX are continuously being developed and executed in terms of both new locations and new products/business lines. - Many opportunities for international travel and relocation. - Goals to streamline internal processes are continuously being developed and implemented. - The company are generous in regards to professional development and any courses/certifications needed or proposed by employees.
Cons
- Although things have improved, internal communication still needs a tad more polishing. - There is no pension package here currently which I think employees would enjoy, but with auto enrollment fast approaching, this won't be an issue for too long.
