Pros

Good competitive wages 9-5 job (management kept on telling me that you will finish at 6-7 pm everyday) so you will be working extra for no extra pay

Cons

I joined this company through an employment agency. This is a very dicey job where you work with the government to stop benefits for disabled people. You learn the rules required to do the CUT and make sure that people don't receive their benefits. You will be cursed by these vulnerable disabled people. The training was of appalling standard where you will feel that they are behaving to you like you were in a third world jail. Out of 8, 2 people walked out of training. We had 4 trainers changed so that they can hammer each trainees. Their aim is to pressurize the trainees to leave the course so that they dont have to train them, they only need people who can learn quickly. No patience, bullying mentality, lot of power in their hands. Blame culture which is rife in the company. Management always blames the assessor, you will have blaming culture every day, hour and second of your job.

Pros

Just started so I'm focusing on positives. As a nurse it will give me a better work/ life balance, no night shifts or weekends etc. Opportunity to meet a variety of people learn about their illness and/or disability.

Cons

The training course is away from home for approx one month, so need to be fully committed before accepting role.

Pros

High-growth company, opportunities for exposure to executive leadership, interesting to see the intersection of policy and the real world. Most positions require helping others in some way.

Cons

C-suite is the definition of 'old boys club' - white, male, grey hair across the board (current leadership has done a great job shepherding the company through strong growth, however). No clear org structure and thus very difficult to advance past a certain level in the company, even though more executive-level personnel due to company's growth. No real attempt to develop bench organically. Sometimes it seems HR policies are intentionally left murky to make it hard for personnel to have full information available to them.
