Old Fashioned Management & High Staff Turnover in Digital London Team & Awful IT Infrastructure

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

High salary for industry, even in digital London office, where jobs are very competitive. The standard of what RS do is very low, so you can turn up and work 9-5 hours pretty easily without doing too much work. This is particularly the case in the Corby office. Most people are pretty nice in the company as they expect little change so don't get too fussed about doing an excellent job.

Cons

Regressive management not keen to tackle the problem of a senior manager who makes inappropriate comments as the managers are wimps who do not like conflict. Understandable that a lot of the digital team leave after a few months. HR are non-existent who only ever step in when someone is being fired. Most people joining the London office are not told where to send their P45s when they join, so they end up asking up to 7 different people in Finance who eventually tell them the answer. What a waste. Culture and digital in particular has become highly politicised. Makes it next to impossible to get digital projects off the ground smoothly. London digital team very talented, but they are carrying a lot of the business. PPC in particular, is a very heavy traffic source for the company which is dangerous considering the volatility of the Google algorithm. I was fired for complaining about one of my colleagues. My wimpish boss totally denied the behaviour and chose to fire me instead of dealing with the sexism in the office. What a joke!

Disappointing.

Pros

The best was the friends I made there and the great team we had. Some real talent. Unfortunately they all left due to some seriously crap management.

Cons

It's hard to describe how poorly managed this company is. Or where to start. Let me see. The most unbelievable penny pinching in all the wrong places. Will fly management about and put them up in hotels all over the place and then put no money into departments/staff where there could be real growth. Absolutely no job security. Couldn't care less about their staff. No idea that good and happy employees are at the core of any successful business. I could go on. Such a shame that such company with such potential is being run into the ground. xod

Pros

When I first started working for the company people mattered. Over time this has become non existent and has become all about the money the company can make.

Cons

No transparency, no support - no respect for the people that do the work. Do not work here
