Pros

- There are some highly committed, skilled and hard-working people who put their life and soul into the business. - Remote working

Cons

- Convoluted Internal Processes - Awful internal and external communication - Customers come 2nd - poor customers services which isn't helped because of multiple IT systems - Staff churn rate of 50+% - Organisational structure is too top heavy - Refusal to pay commissions on occasions - Below industry standard salary - Negative Industry perception and lack of trust in service - Distinct lack of marketing strategy and resource support - Directors will only accept emails/calls from SLT not subordinates - Generally stressed out management who are off ill (no sick pay) - Absolutely zero culture and limited opportunities for development - Lack of suitable showrooms to take prospect customers - More politics than in Westminster - Be prepared for your own personal address to be accidentally included on customers invoices months after you left (apparent breach of GDPR here) - Be prepared to receive unfounded warnings in a templated letter after you have left accusing you of attempting to poach customers (apparently its common).

Pros

Got a lot of hands on experience working autonomously. Everyone in the department was also very friendly and helpful.

Cons

My internship duration was somewhat short which caused me to work on several projects that I did not get to see to completion.

Pros

Hybrid and working from home

Cons

Holiday, pension, death in service. They’re about all the benefits you get. No sick pay. No Xmas celebrations. No Easter celebration. Quick exit redundancy. Pay average. No incentives. No overtime. If you work over there’s no extra pay or option to take as holiday. Heavy workload. Lack of support from management. Training via teams and limited. Not very friendly. In my opinion it’s a company stripped to a skeleton staff and in trouble financially in the UK
