Pros

Friendly staff and can leave at 5pm if you have commitments after work

Cons

Boardroom sucked the living life out of me. They assign so much work to you and expect you to work overtime if you cannot complete all your work between work hours. Their work management is beyond ridiculous, they train you a couple of times and then expect you to know everything they taught you. They hold your contract over you like they own you - leave 10 minutes early? Expect to hear from management the next day about how “your contract clearly states that you start at 8:45am and finish work at 5pm” Doing a 2 - 3 person job and think you deserve a pay rise? Well, be prepared to argue that with them because apparently that’s not deserved, it’s earned and how does that happen? Get a promotion. Your manager or senior will say making a mistake is okay as long as you learn from it but the moment you make a mistake, they give you hypothetical scenario like “that’s not good enough. If we sue you, is your reason good enough for the judge?” Management gaslights you when you express how you feel. Had an instance where I told my manager that I was burning out to which they replied with “are you sure? But you don’t stay back after work (yes I did, throughout my employment, I’ve stayed back 95% of the time), you don’t have to catch up on work on the weekends”. Oh I’m sorry, do you feel what I feel? Do yourselves a favour and don’t work here. The turnover is really high and I can see why.

Horrible place to work

Pros

I’m not working there any more.

Cons

Management team is woefully inept. Management comes up with many new initiatives, tries them out and dumps them and tries something new. The autocratic leadership style is soul destroying. Team leaders and managers do not respect their staff. A Team Leader of mine treated his staff with distain – even frequently rolling his eyes about his staff. Two managers who have subsequently left could frequently be heard swearing at each other and yelling at their staff. Nothing was done about this despite the issue being known throughout the entire office - including HR and the CEO. High attrition rate is unsurprising.

Pros

- Nice location - Friendly staff in other departments

Cons

- Pay - No work life balance - Lack of support from HR - Can't speak for other departments, but my department was toxic. The manager would gossip about everyone and make up lies about other people in other departments to convince you to not speak with them
