Pros

Good starting salary - there are opportunities for this to increase as you progress. The size of the company means there are more opportunities to advance. Company perks / bonus schemes - quarterly socials are well organised and put together. Office location is ideal - right near the centre of town.

Cons

Any problems that I had weren't taken seriously and were dismissed by management. Things they said were not honored and were just saying things with no intention to carry those actions out. Poor working environment - lack of cohesion amongst employees and thrives based on competition only. If you're not the best, you're not good enough for them. Lack of growth opportunities - I mentioned my goals and I was given a generic answer and those opportunities weren't ever given to me. Office equipment was falling apart and wasn't replaced. Poor communication - passive aggressive, not being direct. Feedback given wasn't constructive and was hyper critical(things that weren't true were said and this made me very angry). I addressed this with the person who gave me the feedback and they couldn't care one bit on what I had to say and the conversation was a waste of time. I asked for further detail on positive aspects but this wasn't expanded upon. Saying something that is good without further explanation is poor quality feedback. Undervalued by the company. I was eventually ostracized and this led to immense job dissatisfaction and increased stress. Some meetings weren't productive and wasted time leading to much less time over the week to get client work done.

Pros

The training provided is second to none, giving you all the tools and support needed to succeed in your role. The managers are efficient, supportive, and extremely approachable, which creates a really positive working environment. There’s a strong sense of community within the team, and everyone is genuinely happy to help each other out. Targets and progression pathways are clear and achievable, making it easy to understand what you need to do in order to develop and grow within the company. The workplace itself is relaxed and enjoyable, with regular company socials that help bring everyone together. The hybrid working setup also offers a great balance between working in the office and working from home. Above all, what stands out most is how much the company genuinely cares about its people. Mabo is always striving to improve—not only as a workplace for its colleagues, but also in the level of service it provides to clients.

Cons

None that I can think of!
