Worst

Due to the nature of the job there can be times where you need to juggle multiple jobs and small tasks which can get hectic but it is manageable and I do find the variety rewarding.
The graduate programme has been good so far but there has been a big focus on leadership which I understand is important but not everyone is naturally comfortable in these roles so I think there could be a wider focus on recognising different strengths in people.
