Pros

Unlimited holiday Some variable amount of bonus at Christmas (£1-2.5k)

Cons

Little progression Too heavy upper management No training for creatives only writers No clarity on pay or salary progression A management that blames long time staff for never offering to take a salary reduction despite themselves being on exorbitant amounts. Very underhanded when it comes to lay offs especially for the American side of the company. Constantly firing people on higher pay bands whilst bringing in new staff on base pay.
