Pros

Parking? Some of the staff are good people.

Cons

The bad... False advertising - Advertised for a network engineer but changed the job title to radio engineer on the first day. Chief engineer has little understanding of computer networks. When an ICMP message dropped on a fresh ping, I was informed Cisco equipment does that. A culture of blame which is fostered by management. Senseless equipment builds. Repeaters paired with cheap, unreliable and unmanaged switches. Lip service paid to health and safety and vile response to global pandemic. Expected to share equipment such as hand tools. Administration staff forced to work from the office despite government guidance to work from home. Fearful staff put in hours worth of overtime and don't claim it. Rhetoric spoken about how everyone is part of the eemits family. But no flexibility or understanding when it comes to childcare. If you are caught short you can't trade in your holidays, so unpaid days are taken. Advised to dump kids on friends (who also work). No sick pay (bar statutory) and no flexibility to trade in holidays. I was told this was to discourage sofa days. No trust in the workforce. You will be tracked and questioned. If your decisions are deemed questionable this will be discussed and ridiculed in the open by management. Poor salary and long hours. Poor training, existing workforce have little time to train you as they need to focus on getting jobs done in quick time for greedy MD and to avoid discussion. Company is ran like the MD's fiefdom - expects staff to fix personal items such as Tefal steam irons. Ludicrous notice periods and repayment for training trap existing staff in their jobs. Filthy kitchen and toilets. Don't use the fridge.

Pros

There's a car park for starters

Cons

As previously stated, there is micro management, you go the extra mile, then it's considered the norm under the caveat that's its a small business and we're all in it together, only you're not. If possible, stay clear

A business with a lot of growth potential

Pros

I've been here less than six months so these are my experiences so far: - Good annual leave for a small business (25 days plus bank holidays) - Friendly colleagues who all add value to what we do - Operating within different sectors gives greater scope of content to work on - Work is praised when it's good and feedback is given when it can be improved or done in a different way - Business has a lot of potential to grow in terms of size and stature - Business is willing to pay for training/qualifications if appropriate to role - Very good work/life balance - Office dog - helps break the day up - Perks for introducing new business opportunities

Cons

I've been here less than six months so these are my experiences so far: - More staff required for business to keep growing (not through a lack of trying to employ new people). - Not sure on HR process if situations arise that make it difficult to speak to Line Manager or Managing Director (although there's quite an open approach to talking to Senior Management already). - Not seen any visibility of existing Above and Beyond reward scheme since starting. Would be good to see someone rewarded on a monthly basis as a lot of good work is going on across the business. - Introduction of a retention scheme would be good to attract and retain new people to the business
