Pros

This place is incredible. I've never felt so valued and appreciated in my life. Everybody is extremely hard-working and not a single person ever turns up late for work. I've always felt at home here because everybody is polite, speaks perfect English and at no point is one person ever lumbered with all the work. The free tea, coffee, and snacks are a huge bonus, and we are all encouraged to take regular breaks away from the screen. My working environment is gorgeous - Super clean surfaces with pristine walls and floors - truly a company that takes pride in its presentation. Such is the trust between staff and management that there are barely any CCTV cameras in sight - The only existing cameras are used for emergencies only, which is why I always feel so safe, yet free. The pay rates are excellent and there is always an avenue for progression!

Cons

No cons. I only wish I could spend more of my time at 5E Ltd. I've become so fond of this place that I feel life itself is a distraction just to keep me away from 5E.

Pros

Stable job. Colleagues are very nice. But only them.

Cons

Salary is horrendous. Work load of others is forced onto you. Terrible communication within the company. Blatant favoritism within the company if you are Indian or 'conveniently' connected to another member of staff. Too slow to make changes when inspectors or visitors come. Never take ownership for their mistakes, but blame others instead.

Pros

- supposedly left wing, grassroots focusing on the needs of the population in White Hart Lane - lovely, warm and supportive staff with interesting ideas / approaches to work (apart from Sr. Management)

Cons

- Sexist comments (including sexual objectification around women's bodies) - Low wages for staff while upper management receive much higher salaries (despite the nature of the organisation being nonprofit) - unclear communication, broken promises, misleading information that allows for sr. management to benefit - Uncomfortable practices that result in legal boundaries being pushed (if not broken) - being watched on camera 24/7 and that being a basis for criticism (i.e. if you speak too much or are you on mobile phone) - lack of training / lack of direction provided in my role - sr. management also speak negatively about other employees to other employees and don't have any concept of privacy / security or professionalism
