What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
I love my job. My colleagues are amazing - supportive, patient (I am only a few months into my training contract), understanding, friendly, interested in me as a person and not just an employee.
Work/life balance is very important to IM. I very rarely work excessively long hours & have been able to maintain a good home life alongside my work. I do not feel forced to work long hours and am encouraged to maintain my work/life balance by my supervisor and wider team.
Benefits- IM has a great benefits package & rewards package.
Opportunity for progression - IM have excellent reward schemes to notice the hard work their employees put in. Opportunities for promotions and career progression are vast if you work hard.
Stability - as above, if you work hard then IM offers great career stability.
