Pros
The team is incredibly friendly, hardworking, and talented at what they do, and are a big draw to working here. The legacy of Guaranteed Irish is what attracts the good staff, and the amazing members of the company make the day-to-day tasks interesting. There is so much potential to this not-for-profit, and if there was proper management the opportunities for growth are enormous.
Cons
As all the previous reviews have outlined (apart from the few that strongly appear to be PR'd by management)—the CEO makes working at Guaranteed Irish untenable. Gaslighting is rife, and staff are often set up to fail, and then worked harder in retribution. The CEO has no issue announcing that you "dropped the ball" in front of the other staff in formal meetings (this has happened on multiple occasions, regardless if the employee was even at fault), and your feedback will depend entirely on what mood they are in. There is difficulty hiring new staff because of the glaring toxicity, and as each new staff member turns in their notice, the burden of the duties required just gets handed to the next person left holding the bag. As a result they are chronically understaffed, and in a state of constant induction. In terms of career growth, there is none, and any attempts to work your way up or further your career in this company will be met with a dressing down.
