Pros

Good working spaces and resources. Opportunity to develop and train and do formal qualifications Unlimited holiday and time off for all at summer and Christmas which is good. Great brands and content

Cons

Micro management and CEO makes decisions on everything in all departments which can’t be sustainable or healthy long term for a Plc. Mgt spend so much time reporting up to CEO that they can’t be doing their jobs properly. Flexible working is not encouraged and CEO needs to approve any flex requests and she does not agree with flex… particularly any requests from parents to do things like 4 day week. CEO shouts and gets angry in meetings and singles out colleagues, so meeting culture is not good. Old fashioned style of leadership does not get the best out of people. High turnover of staff and managers as a result.
