Pros

Literally none. It’s an awful environment.

Cons

The owners think they own their staff, literally. The MD openly reprimands staff for no reason at all believing in gossip without discussion. Directors look down on everyone. They think they’re above Employment Law, and at any one time have multiple tribunals and appeals from the disturbing number of staff they’ve sacked on the spot for no reason. It’s a running joke - the ever revolving door at Saxton. I don’t know how HR sleep at night facilitating the terrible treatment of staff. The Legal dept spend their entire day dealing with complaints from customers and ex employees so kept very busy. They praise Muslim staff for bowing to the pressure of not taking time off for Ede… and speak badly of those who do take it off - their religion! Treat your employees well and they’ll do well for you. You are not above anyone and you should be ashamed of the way you continue to treat people. Money doesn’t buy class or decency. An awful family company to work for.

Pros

- great earning potential - the owners will treat you like family and have your back no matter what. One caveat, you do exactly the same to them. - Owners always available - Amazing life experience - Family feels - Long hours but we made it fun - Inclusive, I am Polish but we had Greek, Italian, Asian, African, Caribbean and other nationalities working there and there was absolutely no mistreatment or discrimination. Some ethnic employees had high positions within the business. Opportunities were available for everyone regardless, what colour, race and gender you were.

Cons

- The hours on the weekends could be shorter. Overall, hours could be more flexible which would improve work/life balance but it’s either you work hard and make money or you don’t put the effort in and be unhappy.
