The managers are not professional and not supportive. The workers are all very cliquey and abusive to those that are not in their little group. For the hours that you work and the tasks you carry out, the pay is atrocious. There is also A LOT of office gossip and blurred lines in term of keeping relationships professional.

I have never worked anywhere where sexual harassment is more prominent. The directors and managers are constantly flirting with the younger female employees and they even make a competition it. The older ladies within the company (particularly those in the finance team ) spend the majority of their time gossiping about the younger girls and creating an atmosphere of bullying in the staff room at lunchtime. There were no female employees in position of authority in the company or in managerial or director positions (with the exception of HR who on the whole just delivered messages from the MD). The is little room to progress here, mainly because the company has no idea of the direction they want to go in or how to write a clear strategy for how to do this. The company is VERY old fashioned, they ring a bell when a new sale is brought in and the MD likes to spot check employees on the company principles. Company benefits are not existent and the company pension contributions are atrocious.
