Pros
Hays company culture is infectious! There is a huge drive for success from everyone and there is a positive team feeling in the office. You are always rewarded for success and achievements and the employee benefits are great! The training on offer from day one is brilliant and shows how much the company is willing to invest in helping you.
Cons
It is a fast paced environment so you can't be afraid of hard work as you will need to keep up the pace with a steep learning curve at the start, although the training is very thorough and very helpful
