Pros

Ability to work with several different sectors with being in a niche industry.

Cons

Working with the US Leadership and Team was a positive experience and showed great potential for success. However, this potential was never realized due to the lack of support, direction, and clarity from the UK Executive Leadership. Their guidance was inconsistent and ineffective, which made it difficult for the team to succeed despite numerous efforts. False promises were made regarding growth and promotions, with little to no recognition for hard work. In some cases, commissions were removed without notice. When concerns were raised, employees were often ignored or given vague responses. Even after experienced consultants were brought in to work with HR for ongoing issues, including poor communication, cultural differences between the US and UK markets, payroll/back-office errors, hiring, lack of sales support and training, unfortunately remained unresolved. Additionally, companywide emails were sent often from the Executive Team carried a threatening tone, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty. Employees became increasingly concerned about job security, yet HR and Consultants being fully aware of the situation, failed to intervene. Both UK and US employees were negatively affected, and although the Executive Team claimed to be open to feedback, in reality they were resistant to change and unwilling to implement meaningful improvements.

Pros

Ability to work with IT leaders across the nation.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience with this company was overwhelmingly negative. Leadership was disorganized and often lacked clear direction, which led to constant changes in priorities with little to no communication. Transparency was minimal, and decisions were frequently made without input or proper explanation to the teams affected. Communication across departments was poor, leading to confusion, delays, and an overall lack of alignment. Questions were often ignored or met with vague, inconsistent answers. Compensation was below industry standards, and there was little recognition or reward for hard work or performance. Raises and advancement opportunities were rare, regardless of contribution. The back office operations were inefficient and unresponsive, causing unnecessary roadblocks in day-to-day tasks. Payroll, HR, and support functions often dropped the ball or failed to provide timely assistance. In short, the work environment was frustrating and unsustainable. I hope the company makes real changes to prioritize its people and invest in structure, leadership, and communication.
