Great people with poor management strategy

Pros

Excellent Technical Team & Collaborative Colleagues: The company boasts a strong technology team, with highly skilled individuals. The non-managerial staff are collaborative and contribute to a positive work environment. Work Flexibility: Offers a flexible schedule and a hybrid work mode, accommodating both remote and in-office work preferences, which is greatly appreciated for work-life balance.

Cons

Management practices: - Subscription Cancellation Policy: Removal of the subscription cancellation option from the customer app has negatively impacted the company's reputation. - Pricing and Compensation Disparity: Frequent price hikes for customers contrast with the stagnant wages for employees. Raises are rare and generally limited to obligatory collective agreement indexing. - Internal Communication: Quarterly meetings often portray an overly optimistic view that does not align with the actual financial situation of the company, leading to a lack of trust in these communications. - massive lay offs and terminations - poor office without personal desk and any fruits/cookies/snacks

Pros

Most of the employees in at Freska are amazing and the reason why I and many more staid/stay there for a long time.

Cons

Upper leadership has no clue about people and how to lead or even be understanding and supportive (C-level). Mid management is so overworked that they work every day of the week way more than 8 hours a day (with no real thank you or will to change from C-level leadership). Employees/ team members are not appreciated, underpaid and very much overworked. Half of them are not up to culture and do not walk the extra mile and the other half is super committed and is taken advantage of by higher up management.

Pros

Nice atmosphere in the office, free snacks and competent, useful training. Welcoming attitude

Cons

Honestly the guidelines for the work were already suspicious in the beginning, they make sure you obey and follow all the rules, don’t complain to anyone (gives a bad impression about company..) And then you slowly realize you’re are getting used for a greater profit and higher salary of top management. Salary is not necessarily low, but you’re traveling long distances on your own cost (in average 2h a day) Traveling between two shifts is “payed” but they make sure that’s the shortest time and you practically have no chance to sit down and eat lunch as civilized people do.. (you are in rush to be in time at the next location and have a 30m unpaid break) Traveling times are calculated also unrealistically short, but hard to complain because you can’t now in advance for sure (for example finding the right door takes extra minutes, reaching the right floor, customers letting you in, changing times differ based on traffic ..etc) You are forced to be top notch and quick same time, otherwise your ratings can go down easily. Customers may won’t realize being satisfied and giving a 4 can lower your salary.. You need to wash the dirty cleaning clothes at home, also on your own cost and freetime.:/ I feel like management based this conditions on the fact; many foreigners from developing countries are use to way worse (salary & work) so they can easily exploit them, it’s really sad in a country like Finland. Workers are spread out during their shifts working alone, so it makes it more difficult to recognize these problems and stand up together..
