Pros

None. Don't work in the Operations Finance team.

Cons

The senior managers in the Operations Finance team refused to offer me sponsorship for an accounting qualification and paid me much less than others doing the same role because of my mental health issues. Four other people in the same team were offered sponsorship and I was expected to cover for them whilst they were on study leave for weeks at a time. It's ironic because most of the managers have mental health issues.
