I became extremely thick skinned and learn to multitask within an inch of my life.
Contras
Too many to mention. But main points... - lying to candidates about jobs and fake ads, then being told this is how its done, no room to question their methods or offer alternatives. - management shouting swear words and vulgar names across the office, to other consultants and other management members (this behaviour magically changes once senior staff members are in office). - long looong hours. - high school bullying / cliquey environment. - phycopathic culture from management, find it ok to lie and expect others to do the same, will hire and fire at will. - If you are ok with deceiving the public through fake ads, being micro-managed within an inch of your life, witnessing office bullying and having management talking behind your back then this is the job for you. - Most mentally challenging role Ive ever had. Constantly questioning myself, feeling paranoid that management are talking about me (which turned out to be true). - Everything is about money. Service comes a distant second. - The high flyers are obnoxious and able to swear and shout across the office, saying racist, sexist and homophobic comments, picking on other colleagues - thats the culture. - Even though you are contracted to certain hours they want you to start earlier and finish later.
