Business outlook

Pros

Good working atmosphere, partners are generally helpful and approachable, training is excellent, pay and benefits are generally good

Cons

A high emphasis has been put on hours more in the last year which can be a bit discouraging when there isn’t enough work to do and when your pay out rate suddenly jumps meaning you have to suddenly become much more efficient
