Pros

Friday drinks Plenty of work to do; you're never bored

Cons

Bullying and belittling of staff. Management was known for their outbursts and it became a part of the culture. The style has become increasingly micromanaging with very little trust for staff. The team lost its energy - management squashed it. "Yes men" were given special treatment. IT systems were dated and clunky to use and didn't integrate with other software (payroll, CRM).

Talent Propeller Response
6y
As a management team, we’re always really excited when new talent joins the organisation and disappointed when, for whatever reason, it turns out to not be a mutual fit. Micro-management is usually only a necessity when a person has oversold their skills and clearly isn’t up to the task of leading an effective team within our culture. Rather than leaving them to flail, other Managers will step in. We are proud that much of our awesome talent has been with us for the long term. 50% of our workforce has worked for the business for over 8 years and have enjoyed an extra week of annual leave for their service, and 20% of the team have worked for the business for over 12 years. It is disappointing when ex employees use public forums to smear the reputation of a business and their former manager. Addressing poor performance is not something any manager relishes and there are always two sides to a story.

Pros

Wine and cheese on Fridays

Cons

I couldn’t last a full year and was in a constant state of stress, at or outside of work, worrying about what I may have forgotten which would get me in trouble on a Monday. Another employee who the management actually liked was crying on the phone to her husband every lunchtime and ended up in therapy due to this work environment. The software is super faulty but you as a staff member will get blamed for it. Shamed for not being able to remember the huge amount of information required from the get go, even after spending week nights and weekends studying their material, Low pay,

Pros

Since working here for just about a year, I have received awesome opportunities to travel and work on exciting projects with clients. I came into this role with no prior experience and have received mentorship from team members and the CEO which has been invaluable. I study outside of work hours and have been supported fully to ensure I am happy and have the time to dedicate to study even though it is of no responsibility of the business. This team is so encouraging, open and family orientated. Communication is key and if you put your hand up and say “I need help!”, it will come from all sides of the business. It’s a very flat structured business meaning there’s no huge hierarchy and I get to work alongside the leaders of the business which has been a fantastic learning experience. I could go on but I’ll leave it at that!

Cons

It can be really busy and the business is all about innovation, so if you are the type of person who likes a slower paced role it might be overwhelming!
