Awful place to work

Pros

Good location. You get paid. Nearly everyone washes their hands after using the toilet.

Cons

Toxic environment where progression and pay rises are virtually non-existent, employees are treated as replaceable and this impacts everyone's work ethic. Decisions are made by the CEO alone and are implemented by his circle of yes men with no thought about employee morale. Company is entirely run to keep costs down and maximise profit, presumably to be sold in the next few years. Office facilities are awful, no tea or coffee, the toilets are comparable to a grotty boozer. Don't believe the good reviews on here, that is management's way to counteract all the real bad ones.

Pros

Good office location, nothing else.

Cons

Where do I start? Working culture is absolutely awful. A lot of micromanagement. Office itself was incredibly old. No lifts (there was a pregnant woman who had to walk up 3 flights of stairs because they haven't bothered to fix the lifts). No air conditioning, no perks at all. Bad salary. They get rid of people without helping them to grow, and don't communicate areas of improvement, especially within the sales function. Also, one of the reasons for me to leave is that one of my colleagues was openly homophobic, an issue that HR completely dismissed and asked to "move on" after I raised the issue. As an openly gay man, this is utterly disgusting behaviour. DO NOT WORK HERE AT ALL.
