Pros

- somewhere to get experience if you’re struggling to get a foothold in the industry - convenient location - really nice colleagues

Cons

- the worst company culture ever - owner-managers do not care about employees at all - well below industry average pay -you will be have to lie to clients, make poor-quality work you are embarrassed by and perform dishonest and even illegal activities like leaving fake reviews (I am 100% certain that the positive reviews here were left by the owners) -owner managers create a culture of fear and silence, they read your Skype conversations and emails, employees socialising or talking to each other is hugely frowned upon and discouraged - when you leave, owner-managers take huge offence and will refuse to give you a reference or only provide a reference confirming your employment dates, which is unfortunate given that... - staff turnover is so high due to the toxic atmosphere that almost the whole staff is replaced within a year - owner-managers blame everything on employees while taking credit for their work to clients and constantly talk smack about people who used to work at the company in an incredibly unprofessional way (including to clients) -creepy and inappropriate comments from male owner-manager to young female staff -owner-managers are in a relationship and will fight and yell at each other in the office in front of staff -lack of transparency about company ownership, you will be paid by a separate holding company (if you get payslips at all), I tried to figure this out on Company House and it's bewildering, stinks of tax evasion - you will never visit the doctor or dentist again - if you do, they will take it out of your (legal minimum) holiday - no benefits - management lies to staff constantly, making promises about changes, raises and expansions that never happen - also promises bonuses that never materialise - owner-managers are pretty much Amy’s Baking company from Ramsey’s kitchen nightmares - your self esteem and self worth will be so destroyed by working here it will take you years to recover

Pros

Location in Windsor and view of castle

Cons

HIGH staff turnover No support or training Addressing your concerns leads to blame being shifted onto the employee Every single team member has unmanageable workload Your hours are not “9:30-5:30” and are expected to have no social life Everything is urgent No positive reinforcement No one is a team player (because everyone has so much to do) Constructive feedback is never taken on board despite there being a common theme Upper management do not communicate with each other You’re just a number - management do not care for you New starters leave within their probationary period because it’s that bad
