Toxic Workplace

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home if you discuss this in the interview stages.

Cons

Toxic workplace, they glamorise overworking employees with 0 reward. Managers will be sending you work at 11PM-12AM. Extremely high turnover as managers/consultants don’t know the basics of how to treat or speak to people well. Poor pay for the amount of work you’re expected to take on. Poor training. No chance of career progression. Team lacks any structure. Terrible work place culture, definitely not ‘people first’.

Toxic working environment and incompetent management !

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None - Cronyism, blame, bullying, and negativity is rife within everyday working environment.

Cons

Avoid if you have any sense. Management are arrogant, egotistic and self centred narcisst liars, and internal troublemakers who have no issue in backstabbing colleagues to climb the company career ladder. Happy to turn a blind eye to favoured friends and colleague mistakes, and avoid client complaints of poor service, they berate business individuals in office personally in office to avoid any level of responsibility and professional support.
