Great first month as Management Trainee - Management Trainee Sunnystep Employee Review

Very amiable environment. colleagues are fun to work with. work load is reasonable.

a lot of the processes within the company are very manual. but i guess that's expected of a start-up company.

The only pro is the one day notice period if you enjoy instability.

I joined Sunnystep thinking I was being recruited as a Finance Manager. When the contract came, the role was downgraded to Finance Executive without explanation. A few weeks later they hired another Finance Manager who did almost nothing and kept pushing all responsibilities to me as the only Finance Executive, saying she was too busy with planning. From a finance and governance point of view this is a complete misallocation of resources and a blatant misrepresentation of roles. The company does not care about its people. The one day notice period, which is never disclosed during interviews, is proof that employees are seen as disposable. During my time here I saw multiple people fired without warning, including one who had already been with the company for a year. I was eventually treated the same way. There was no transition planning, no respect for the work done, just a culture of fear and instability. From a financial perspective this model is reckless. The constant rehiring, retraining and loss of knowledge is far more costly than providing stability, but management clearly does not understand or simply does not care. This place shows exactly how little value is placed on human capital. People are not treated as assets to be developed, only as expenses to be cut whenever convenient.
