Pros
The amount of annual leave you get is a positive, SOME people are nice...that's really all I have to be honest.
Cons
A serious lack of training, it's like being blind-folded and handed a jumbled up rubik's cube and told to solve it, then when you do it wrong you get abuse thrown at you. Workload comes at you hard and fast with again no training, you feel like your drowning. I have asked for help from someone doing the same role as me and they treated me like I was as stupid as they come. That same person has treated me like rubbish the second I walked through the door, ignores me on a daily basis, excludes me, stomps around when I ask for help and sighs loudly as if I am the biggest inconvenience on the planet. This person is one of the main reasons I am leaving. I sit next to their manager (who is also my manager) and it's very clear that I am being bullied but nothing is said or done. Of course I will be pulling the manager aside and very clearly pointing it out as I give my letter of resignation. Very poor form for a new starter (joined in the last 2 months). I have been miserable from my first week and I cannot wait to leave. The hours are extremely long which doesn't give you much free time in the evening and you have to be up at the crack of dawn to get in there, no flexibility in the sense that you can't take a shorter lunch in order to finish early.
