Pros

Finishing work at 4 o'clock.

Cons

No training in house or otherwise. Not able to use own initiative or implement ideas or better/modern ways of doing things. It is Mr Lunts way or no way. No small talk allowed and no team building encouraged. Terrible working environment. Totally miserable. Staff are expected to know what to do and how the Director wants things done without any training or information when they start. No training or job description of duties and responsibilities. Management are patronising in their communication. They are quick to quite publicly reprimand staff in front of colleagues. They dont listen. Lots of hiring and firing. No problems firing staff out of the blue regardless of contract and legal obligations. Tens of staff have come and gone from this business. Much smaller company than they like to portray - around 15 employees max. Half the building is empty so they have to spread out and bring friends/family in to bulk it out when clients visit. Everyone I know who has left this company has done so due to the same aforementioned reasons. The company have lost a number of excellent professional candidates from all areas of the business.

Pros

Fair salary, great product, holiday schedule is good, great people in the staff level

Cons

Working here was like being part of the TV hit reality show survivor with the CEO and co-owners being on separate tribes and alliances plotting against each other to see who can create more chaos. Constant plot twists of new job roles or shifts to new teams to avoid providing you constructive reviews and annual raises, promising to address concerns once getting through the next big process change only to change the process again. They will be sure to axe you before your 2nd anniversary, this is to ensure no employee is protected by UK labor laws. They will conceal these as mysterious and shocking "decisions to leave to pursue other opportunities" to those sticking around still drinking the Kool aid with eyes wide shut! Ironically many staff's resignation comes within days of taking paid leave while upper management seems to play a famous game of Hide and Seek and take more vacation than hours worked. The lack of understanding or care to understand how health benefits work for the employees in the US or make them attainable without sacrificing your first born child is astounding. A unique experience that will build character, resilience, and a strong desire to pursue greener pastures. Never seen so many people "leave" in such a short time frame, never had so many managers in that same short time in my entire career. This is a job, do not expect a career here.
