Pros

-some colleagues that I'm still friends with made it bearable

Cons

-The manager is extremely good at conveying a pleasant persona to you and others. However do not let this deceive you. -Pulled people into meetings to find out who had written a negative review on the company, tactics included 1 on 1 interrogation, asking you who you thought had left the review, and making one colleague turn on another. Literally backward behaviour, when a bad review comes out, there is a way to manage your team and make them feel supported, this manager took the opposite route alike to a dictator. -Since leaving, I have found out I was made a mockery of by the manager of the team, all I did was work hard and be kind however this manager must have been bullied when a child as they themselves have now developed into a bully. This is the biggest shame yet. -The Company made redundancies and a work schedule was developed to enslave existing colleagues, no wonder why said colleagues found new ventures. -overcharging vulnerable and naïve students is their method of turning a profit, no wonder why the company is flailing. -Finally, being good at Customer service is not a "skill" anyone who has common sense can do this, let's stop pretending to be a manager in this region gives you the power to mock others who have left. Nothing is worse than a jealous individual of another who has enormous potential outside of Glide.

Pros

I have been fortunate enough to have worked at both small and huge organisations over the last 25 years, and Glide in my opinion is right up there with the worst, and one of my most regretful life experiences/choices.

Cons

Like any other business, there is good and bad; Glide employs some good and even great people, however it often feels like they also harbour and revel in association with some of the worst people! From the CEO that fancies himself a ladies’ man and Temu 007, to the pocket sized CTO that clearly has an unfathomable desire to be known as a ‘tough guy’ by bullying anyone and everyone possible (Jack Russel syndrome).
