Pros

-Wages are decent -The christmas parties are alright but chaotic -Progression if you can get behind a long wait period. - A decent starter if ya patient. -Some seniors can be kind and act like a menor but this does not overshadow the toxic environment since there is only 2 of them compared to the vast

Cons

-Toxic environment [ There is heavy power abuse in this place to where higher management look down on others and treat them as insignificant people. There is mild sexism which oscillate between sexes depending on day. -Ableism [ If you show signs of being unable to do a certain activity, they will neglect you and not train you for a long time. They will prioritise their friends] -Favouritism [ There is blatant favouritism to where if you are not friends with a higher up or even suck up to them, then you wilk be left behind in progressing] -Non existing mental health [ Do not work if you think streds can affect you mentally because they do not care about mental health. ] -Gossiping [ Very toxic gossiping happens to where insults are commented behind others backs like school kids.] - Fake reporting [ some people randomly report others for the most minimal reason for example calmly asking someone why they did something] - Work stress [ They request alot of work load from clients knowing full well staff is low because people leaving and thus overwork staff which ties into mental health problems again]

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that I was based in the US and only had to deal with the utter toxicity of senior management in punctuated moments when they visited. The new CEO does actually seem to be a positive change. I couldn't hang around long enough to find out, but he did have a lot of positive effects prior to my leaving. If you compare the benefits, salaries, leadership, competencies, quality of services to that of other similar companies, there really aren't any 'pros' to talk of.

Cons

A particular director that is so incredibly narcissistic, incompetent, toxic, belittling, and incapable of leading one person let alone a team. This person has done so much to harm the morale and attitude of the company, I would venture to say the downfall of this company (which is inevitable) rests mostly on his shoulders. There is no respect for the commercial management, yet they demand it openly. There was never the slightest bit of guidance or wisdom offered from those in positions of authority. Just about everyone in the company speaks so poorly of the commercial management at Source, it's almost comical. What else... There is zero focus on what the company actually wants to accomplish. The services offered are just commodities and the technologies used are very outdated.

Thank you for your comments, I am glad to say that under new management and a more open and free forum, all current directors and managers are allowed to do the jobs they have been employed for. I apologise for your experience with the company being so poor, it has taken our new owners to allow focus on the growth of our USA business although interestingly, it was the commercial management team pushing the previous senior management to invest in this group. It is sad that you have not had the best of experiences but now with the investment and opportunity available to us all, we are certainly able to address the issues you have raised to work towards a more positive outlook for our USA employees.

Pros

´At will´ agreement. Good fellow trapped workers.

Cons

They will make your work odd shifts without regret or care or accommodation. No gratitude / compensation for any extra work. You could be working in research field and could be assigned a marketing sales task across the country, without even bothering about your convenience. Your salary is a joke. Christmas bonus is a luncheon because you sacrifice for the company. (yes you get that answer). Horrible behaviour and disrespectful environment. Background check a company before you get hired. Short term employment will harm you more than the company. If you still accept their employment, you asked for it!
