Pros
- Really varied work! I have focused on a mix of internal hiring/terms of business/HR/marketing/IT/payroll support/lots of different ad hoc projects. Every day is different and it keeps it interesting. - Great level of responsibility: After proving myself, I have been trusted with whatever I had capacity to take on and very much have had the opportunity to focus on the type of work that I enjoy doing most. - Supportive environment: Working in a small team, sat next to my manager and working closely with the CEO means there has always been someone to go to with questions or when stuck. - Social: The company wide ethos of collaboration and teamwork creates an amazing place to work. The morning and afternoon walks are a great way to get to know people you do not sit near, along with regular drinks and social events. I can truly say I have made some amazing friends here! - Company wide benefits: All the same amazing benefits are on offer for the Ops team as for the recruiters - monthly wellness contribution, long lunch break for exercising, BUPA healthcare, Deliveroos, team lunches, Birthday drinks, winning prizes on the DP wheel, long weekends away, Polo in the Park (the list goes on..!)
Cons
Definitely a role for someone who is willing to get involved in all the different aspects required in Operations, rather than focusing on one area eg. Marketing - but this is not a con if you like variety and being busy!
