Pros

- Nice working location in Windsor next to Windsor Castle. - Decent collection of clients

Cons

- Management tasks its employees to create fake positive reviews for Glassdoor and for their clients. The latest "positive" reviews are forged by their employees. - There's little to no training within the team, leaving you to play catch-up from the start. - The company's leadership (Chairman & MD, as well as Chairman's brother & son-in-law) all work within the company and have personal relationships with each other. - There is no HR within the company! - Managers within the team are favoured and don't properly support their team mates, especially with projects. (1-1 sessions and time together doesn't exist) - Progression within the company is dire. - They will pick up new clients every week with little to no planning, leaving it a rush to kickstart projects and assign teams. - Little to no support from managers & directors with work loads, support mentally, and with clients. They leave you on your own. - Their salaries are based on brackets (according to them), and are low and detached from skill sets. - Lieu days from client events don't exist and are pushed away from managers when requesting them. (Requested after an event, but kept getting pushed back) - Leadership is poor, leaving employees to navigate solo without guidance or support. - Rewards for hard work goes unnoticed (at best, you get mentioned in a weekly newsletter) - Seniors often claim credit for juniors' work to evade accountability. - Micromanagement is so bad, and feedback from work feels very blunt. - Expectation of long hours, ruins any possible work-life balance. - Mental health concerns are kept quiet (no advice for counselling sessions, even though they advertise it a lot)

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
