Pros
Trident is the perfect place to start for someone at the front end of their career, they can literally drag someone off the street and teach them a plethora of skills in the pre-press industry and wider. There are some pretty awesome and exciting opportunities on offer if you're willing to put Trident first. • Training/L&D - the best I've experienced in my career • Career Development - Trident love to promote internally • Opportunities - so many amazing opportunities worldwide (USA, Singapore, India, Australia, China) • The staff - lots of amazing people throughout the company • Core Values - Gave me a really good grounding on how to approach things in my career • Social - Put on some fantastic social events and fundraisers for local charities • Rewards - Hard work is recognised through bonuses, pay rises and treats
Cons
• Middle Management - untrained and unprofessional, some are even close to being vicious, a couple would throw you under a bus to score brownie points with the Director team • Heavy workload - The artworker/artist role is already a long week at 40 hours but overtime is expected and frowned upon if you cannot commit to a certain number • HR - Understaffed and incapable, there was only one HR manager (for 200+ staff) during my employment and they were the most unapproachable person I've ever worked with
