Pros

Colleagues are nice. People (not management) are the best part in this company.

Cons

1. No strategy - The only strategy is to copy their competitor, whereas that competitor has invested more than 10 times more money and people. Then the management was proud that you would have all the opportunities - simply BS. 2. Micro-monitor – it is like kindergarten – schedule you with daily targets 3. Unrealistic targets - They micro monitor over everything, how many calls you make, how much time you spend 'in the system' - bear in mind, they can always blame you one way or another - either you didn't do enough sales, or you didn't work on production - and yet you have only 8 working hours - when you have to chase all the number in your account. Nevertheless, the numbers are coming from bosses' imagination without any statistics - they simply made up the number for you to achieve and so here comes the point 4. 4. Threatening vocally - Never work in a company they use threats to encourage you and bully you when they are in the bad mood. If you get called for a meeting at 6pm (which they do it very often), you are in trouble, because the boss probably wants to threaten you with his power or bully you because he is not in a good mood Piece of advice? Record it, and tell him that you will record the conversation - so that may stop him from saying really rude things or swearing at you - and you'd better be aware of those swearing words in French - since you will be hearing that very often. 5. Dated knowledge – they may tell you that they will provide trainings, which they will, but the trainings you will get are dated. You will not get a chance to go to those conferences, seminars where they tell you the latest information about the digital world. If you want to learn fast, spend your own money and your spare time. 6. Flexible working hour – yeah right, you can come at 9 and try to leave at 6pm everyday, and see if you will get one of those ‘meetings’. Of course, they will not say that you can’t, but then numbers and targets. So? Go in at 9:30. You need more? Go search people who used to work there and drop them an email to ask.. You will find out more.

Pros

Good first job to start your career in the UK, learning a few skills that could be useful in your future career.

Cons

Processes are non-existent, management is horrible and toxic, systems are outdated, I think they still run this company as they're attached to what it was one day and will never be again.
