Pros

No pros at all, none

Cons

Worked there for 2 weeks - probation period being 6 months. Was called in suddenly after one lunchtime to say that I was not suitable for the job and was not at level they expected me to be. Mind you, I don't think they ever invested in training me properly. I was then told I needed to pack my things immediately and was escorted out the building like a criminal. I was in shock, and it was such a horrible experience.

Pros

RDO's, Some good people, Some Flexibility

Cons

Lack of promotions or opportunities unless you fit a particular mold or are favoured in some way. Lack of connection between managers and staff. Not at all customer service focused therefore continually disappointing customers so staff are regularly receiving complaints. Overall stale atmosphere throughout the entire company. Lack of support for staff to cope with these complaints. Non existent communication between departments, teams and customers. No Discipline for under achievers and No Reward for those going above and beyond. Management dont appear skilled enough to professionally manage difficult staff. Training and sufficient leadership in every aspect almost non existent.

Pros

Some good people to work with

Cons

No direction, no structure, chaos, process weak, super high turnaround, no intra company communication, no smiling faces, no grace, no budget, low quality products, such a circus which isn't even funny. Waste of time and effort (if you show any)
