    Default prospect

    I can see the job prospects in this company.
    ( 'prospects' - can be in singular? any differences? )

    Default Re: prospect

    It's prospects in your sentence as there are numerous opportunities for advancement.

    You can use it in the singular thus:

    'I left that company because I could see no prospect of promotion'.
