Pros
- People are friendly - Lenient working from home policy (although they do refuse to write it into contracts) - Can act as a foot in the door to gain experience if you are willing to put up with all of the negatives.
Cons
Where do I even start! - Unfair salaries (and they don't like you talking about them amongst each other) - Expected to go above and beyond with no reward - A mass of internal politics you have to navigate in order to do your own job - No onboarding/training when starting yet expected to know exactly what you are doing. - Micro-managing - Senior management does not care about you or your families, show no interest in your life outside of work. - Have a tendency to 'dangle a carrot' to make you go above your job description but then nothing ever comes from all of your hard work. - Benefits are none existent. They use the statutory minimum for everything they can get away with. - Job description never matches your actual job. - Long working hours. - No paid overtime despite being expected to work past your hours by answering emails, calls etc. - No atmosphere in the offices. - Problems are ignored and left for someone else to clean up. - No form of mental health support offered by the company. - No chance of further qualification to help your career/goals.
