Pros

Some Friendly and interesting colleagues. Ideal for someone not looking for a long term career. The work is easy and undemanding and good for just going into cruise control and coasting along. You won't ever care enough about the work to take home with you or even think about the work outside of the office. Perfect for good work/home life balance. There are some in office entertainment like a Foosball Table and a Pool table but they seem to be mostly for show and look like they haven't been used in some time. There are some video game consoles there to play if your interested. Marlow is a beautiful town with some nice restaurants and a lovely park.

Cons

No progression in the company. You can try and progress and you might get given a few extra responsibilities but you'll become increasingly frustrated with the lack of direction and support from the management. Extremely poor management team which makes up over half the company. The managing director has assigned inexperienced people into management positions which has lead to poorly trained and poorly treated staff. The managing director herself is very unprofessional about the way she conducts business, treats the low level staff and talks about the companies clients. There is a clear divide between the management and the rest of the staff which creates conflict and an unpleasant atmosphere. No flexibility at all with the hours. Minimum wage. This will increase in small amounts annually but only to match minimum wage and inflation increase. Mundane work with little to no variety. All work is done using poorly developed in house tools that provide no skills or experience that benefit future job opportunities. Terrifying work environment when the company starts hiring for new employees. New employees are usually hired only to replace an existing employee that management are unhappy with which creates a atmosphere of staff worrying whose next on the chopping board. I've seen people who are unknowingly training their replacement, then once they've trained them up their instantly sacked. All admin staff feel very disposable because of this. Those that aren't sacked tend to read the tea leaves and depart before they're next to be fired.

Pros

I have partnered with Fancensus for over 15 years and now worked directly for them for just under 12 months. - A growing business. - A very friendly engaging work force. - Opportunities to progress, develop new skills and be actively engaged with the development of new products. - An agile company - Flexible working between work and office.

Cons

The offices are Cookham based near to the local train station; however for me personally the train timetable is fairly limited from where I live (+70 miles away) which prevents me using it as a service. I therefore have to rely on my car.

Pros

Easy work & some generally nice people you can work with.

Cons

The most toxic environment I've ever worked in. The Management are bullies who treat their employees like garbage. The amount of childish behaviour was unbelievable. Unorganised company with no real progression. Minimum wage with either the smallest pay increase or rewards you will be promised but never receive. Also zero benefits to make up for the lacking pay. Tedious work.
