Bad vibes - Journalist/Reporter Sheology Employee Review

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.

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.

It's close to the bus stop/ Luas stop but that's about it. Some staff are very friendly while others act like the Plastics from the movie "Mean Girls". Sometimes you might get treats from sponsors but it's not worth it.

Where do I begin? 1) The managers are horrible to the interns. Very nice to your face but send you constant passive-aggressive and patronizing emails. There's a bit of a Nurse Ratched vibe off these people. 2)They underpay their staff even though they work incredibly hard. 3)They also made us work horrific hours. (7am-3.30pm, 9am-5.30, and 12.30pm-9pm) including weekends and woe betide should anyone leave 5mins early to catch a bus! 4) The atmosphere is awful! Members of staff can be very clique-y and unfriendly. There's a real sense of superiority there and it's toxic. 5) The office is miles from anywhere and they won't let you work from home. Even though it's completely unnecessary for you to be there in person. 5) The place STINKS. Literally, the bins are overflowing and dirty dishes left in the sink even though there's a fully-functioning dishwasher. 6) Don't leave your belongings unguarded there because they will get robbed!
