Pros

Lovely new premises in central Bournemouth - although that means parking is sparse and expensive. Free selection of tea and coffee.

Cons

4 managers, a whole call centre and highly skilled graphics team axed in my short but unpleasant time working for McStone. One had over 18yrs company experience. Colleagues more interested in office politicking than actually performing well. Shambolic marketing strategy & implementation - more fire-fighting than planning. Siloed teams lacking any attempt at joined up communications. Dreadful work/life balance - the only way to succeed is to have no life outside work.
