Pros

The advantages of working for Southern Housing are varied. There is a great working environment - you feel supported, they are always attentive to your progress and learning and they listen when you have personal situations where you need their support. I am very satisfied and truly appreciate everything they have helped me with in this company. There have been many technological changes and new ways of working, which have put my endurance to the test. With the help of my team and the wider teams in general, I've been able to break through the barriers that come with new ways of working.

Cons

The workload can sometimes be quite heavy and demanding. However, I have always felt supported by my team and my manager, who reminds me that what matters is progressing little by little and doing things well, rather than feeling overwhelmed. At the same time, I feel that every day you learn something new and you never get bored.
