      Pros

      Potential to earn good money. The three offices I worked in we're all lovely spaces. I got on well with my colleagues.

      Cons

      Long Hours - Rubbish basic - I dared to ask questions and have an opinion, this was not received well - Senior management can be bully's, I protected several members of staff when I worked there - Ridiculous levels of micro management - Don't expect to be an individual at Hays, you have to be a robot.

      Pros

      Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

      Cons

      Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
