Pros

High turnover easy to get hired

Cons

Management used forced resignation instead of retrenchment during covid period when business is down. The management set impossibly high work target and came up with reasons that we are not hitting it, scolded daily and told that we will be terminated immediately if we do not resign. Extremely old school method of working without proper computer systems in place. Dying business led by incompetent leaders who do not take responsibility of the bad show results. HR does nothing to help at all, only to add fuel to the problem.

We take all complaints from current or former employees very seriously. To better understand your concerns we would ask that you contact Fleur Kearns, Vice President, HR, APAC so that she may fully understand your comments and investigate internally. We look forward to hearing from you.

Pros

- work from home 1 day/week - 35 hour work week - some travel abroad opportunities - modern open-plan office - very low performance expectations for staff - some lovely people across the business

Cons

- no salary reviews (bar annual 1% increase) - no professional training opportunities - limited promotions available, typically for service-length, rather than ability or merit - marketing senior leaders are not skilled in marketing - slow and resistant to change (no best practice) - very negative environment: people frequently crying, others telling you they can't wait to quit - limited line manager training, makes for some very poor people managers - abundant administration processes for every task, yet the business is exceptionally unorganised, and very reactive - clunky outdated tech: systems not integrated, laptops frequently crash and freeze - layer of unskilled management doing very little, not enough staff working on campaigns or tasks - junior teams completely overloaded, limiting campaign creativity, and meaning delivering the basics is a hurdle
