Pros

Made incredible friends for life within the company and worked with brilliant brands.

Cons

It is going to be a long list. Bullying, micromanagement and dishonesty are a regular in Sheology. The positives reviews here are written by management. If you do work for this company, get ready to be recorded via their hidden webcam. If you're asked for a coffee, be prepared to be torn to pieces as they smile and slip their coffee. Your private messages will be screenshot and sent to senior management. Your social media profiles will be stalked on the daily and you will get calls or snide comments made if there is anything they don't like. If you're a brand working with Sheology, just be aware that the products you give journalists don't actually go to them, but instead sit on a famous shelf behind senior management. They are shared out at Christmas amongst everyone, despite the editorial staff being paid pennies. I could go on but the biggest issue was senior management having a mole on teams, that would actively sack or push people to quit by making their life hell.

Pros

Lovely people who made the work very enjoyable, and a good sense of teamwork from the staff - everyone generally rows in to help when they can.

Cons

The lack of transparency and trust from management was very obvious from the start - it was painfully obvious they didn't trust anyone - this made new employees feel very uncomfortable and unsure in their positions, from observations. There was a definite sense of paranoia from those in management - constant whispering in corners about various members of staff (past and present) - which made the atmosphere at times, extremely tense. Goalposts changed constantly (often daily) and some members of management have appaling attitudes, speaking to younger members of staff in manners which would not be tolerated anywhere else. Bullying tactics to try and push people out and instilling a sense of fear in some team members (feeling as if they'll lose their jobs) if they don't get 'on side' with upper management and report to them the workings of the sub-teams. Little respect for anyone's work.
