Pros
Global access and platform to international markets

The greatest experience of your life in a very unhealthy environment

It is THE experience of a lifetime, you take as much as you can and then you go
Cons
Managers are generally less knowledgeable than coordinators, to have a career you are looking at years and years in the same position, alienating and surviving in an extremely psychologically abusive environment.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad it was the experience of a lifetime. Our managers are often tasked with overseeing a broad range of generalist activities whereas our coordinators are deep subject experts. However your comment around a psychologically abusive environment is deeply concerning, and had you have raised this at the time this would have been swiftly dealt with by our HR team.
