      Pros

      There’s some truly genuine and talented people in the business, who are trying their hardest to make the business work. I thoroughly enjoyed the actual work when the workload and deadlines weren’t ridiculous.

      Cons

      Leeds-List has the capacity to be a great place to work but unfortunately the management completely let it down. The problems start from the top down. The way the CEO speaks to employees is really appalling and condescending, leaving people feeling constantly on edge. Employees are seen as commodities rather than human beings which has resulted in high staff turnover and low morale. They pride themselves on a ‘chaotic’ environment, when in fact they’ve created a toxic work culture - and they have a reputation for it. No efforts were made to ensure staff were happy and there was no flexible working when upper management could come and go as they please.

      First of all, thanks for your feedback and for your comments about the talent of our wider team. As a business, we pride ourselves on offering employees a good work-life balance and believe that working over is the exception not the rule. There was a case recently where an employee struggled with the workload because their abilities were overstated at interview. We were transparent about expectations and the level of the role, both at interview and during the offer process. When an employee doesn’t meet their KPIs, they’re offered additional support, but sadly, it doesn’t always work out. The employee was given almost a month of paid garden leave which exceeded their contractual notice period by a significant amount.

      Pros

      - You get to write about an amazing city and everything that goes on within it. - There are loads of opportunities to learn new skills, particularly in copywriting, SEO, content strategy and social media. - You get to work with an amazing bunch of people who are full of passion for Leeds and are absolutely brilliant at what they do. - You get to know everything that's going on in the city before anyone else does. - You'll know every good place to eat, drink or visit (and every bad place to not visit). - The company has grown a lot recently and is heading in a great direction, with exciting expansion plans. - It's a unique proposition in the city - there's no other copywriting job quite like it. - No two days are ever the same.

      Cons

      - It's easy for it to be all consuming, so work/life balance needs to be front of mind for everyone.
