Pros

You do get experience of quite a lot of things because it's such a small team and everyone has to do a bit of everything.

Cons

Excessive workload, complete lack of understanding or sympathy for mental health issues and/or workplace stress, bullying, unexplained differences in salary for people doing the same job, horrendous blame culture. Work is unappreciated, employees are made to feel like idiots. Bank holiday/weekend working and 12 hour workdays are not uncommon, overtime is never paid, and time in lieu is rarely given. Staff turnover is extremely high. Multiple people have left in less than a month without any warning. When people leave it is taken as a personal offence and management start telling lies about them. Every single person leaves for the same reason; they just can't take it anymore.

Pros

There are no pro’s to working here

Cons

This was the worst employer I’ve had the misfortune of working for. CEO is the main problem, despite being very clever he clearly has no people skills whatsoever and should not be allowed near staff.

Pros

If you prove competent, you are likely to get promoted to a more senior role due to staff turn over rates.

Cons

Excessive Workload Poor understanding for health issues Blame and finger pointing makes communication difficult as employees are scared to speak of any issues CEO is a bully HR team closely related to CEO so internal issues often do not get sorted out professionally Many corners cut to save costs
