On board the Titanic, waiting for a Lifeboat
Pros
Just like the infamous White Star Line, there's a feeling of luxury, the job has at first glance, a high wage. The job is 9-5 Monday to Friday, in an accessible city centre location. The hours are extremely attractive.
Cons
The arrogance that this company is unsinkable is driving it to its own destruction, full speed ahead. No notice is taken of staff who are thrown over board at a whim and are drowning in frankly, ridiculous and pointless targets. The management are blind 'Yes' men, ignorant of the on going issues that the company is about to go down by the nose. Just like a sinking ship there is utter chaos; constant frantic change and no leadership. Staff are miserable, treated like third class passengers, completely worthless without any value placed on them or their suggestions. Clients are being harassed, as staff are told to phone them, threaten them, use sale tactics and hit call targets despite continuous complaints. A frustrating and demoralizing set of working conditions. If the opportunity comes to abandon ship staff are off as quick as possible with staff leaving sometimes 2 a week. If a lifeboat comes in the form of a new job, I like any other employee, will be onboard before the company swallows me and my morale like the bitter cold North Atlantic.
