What a train wreck

Recommend

Pros

Good coworkers Good customers Good location in city centre Sadly that's it.

Cons

Management team have no idea what they are doing. Company is a sinking ship with all the talented staff leaving due to abusive working conditions. You will notice a trend that for every negative staff review the MD will create a new email account to post a "great" review filled with his buzz words.

Pros

Lots of material for telling stories about the crazy CEO Decent colleagues

Cons

Where to start? It's all a con. CEO is like a comic book bad guy. Has to micromanage everything. Business is crumbling around him and he's taking it out on the wrong people. His incompetence comes from his early fortunate success, and he's been trying to hang on to this ever since. A general bullying culture, with a shared common enemy (CEO) to provide some camaraderie.

An Unbelievable Company

Pros

You'll come home with an endless supply of stories about new campaigns, products and conversations that people will assume are completely fictional. Colleagues enjoy a siege mentality/ gallows humour which brings you closer together. City centre location is good for shopping/food on a lunch break or after work. CEO gives out pay rises often to those who want to leave. It's a nice plaster on a gaping wound.

Cons

Right... where to start? Mainly the CEO. It's difficult to tell if his incompetence spreads through management or if they're trying badly to filter it out. His undoubted early success was unfortunately too early in his career, so he doesn't know what to do with 'his' company. It is very much his company which you will be reminded of daily. Demanding work outside of hours, demanding you advertise his latest idea via personal social media accounts (at which point the actual phrase "I pay your wages" was used), and generally fitting you into the latest fad he's read about (until he reads about a new one next week). The noun 'minions' has also been used without any humour intended to describe his staff. Think you're doing well at work here? Not unless you've made no less than a specific number of phone calls daily, and the number changes every few weeks. CEO is obsessed with quantifying all work done so nothing of real value can be achieved. You will never be trusted or treated like an adult. Mismanagement has three times now led to redundancies, where support and training staff were let go in order to try fuel more sales staff. This was widely regarded by all as short sighted and showing a clear lack of respect and care for not just staff, but customers. Those customers are now realising and it's showing in churn.

People who do not live our values don't last long in our companies. Cyber bullying is unacceptable. We know who published this post - it is sad to see and falls way below our high standards.
