Worst company ever

Pros

0 stars. Absolutely nothing pro about this company.

Cons

Senior management - Bully, enjoys telling staff lies and threatening actions causing tensions and severe upset within the company. Brief boring dated induction with 0 training and high expectations on delivering excellence with rubbish dated systems out of date data base for recruiters and no guidance from existing staff or management. New ideas for development Unwelcome. Banishment of any type of morale, negative and slandering comments made continually every day without fail. Staff constantly made to feel not good enough again with pressure to deliver, false promised bonus structure (never happened). Continuous rejuvenation of staff - Month to month basis, sometimes weekly, some haven’t even lasted 1 full day. 0 perks, staff not allowed to communicate whilst working, no staff events, very poor salaries, 0 flexibility holidays are seen as shouldn’t exist and that staff don’t deserve a break. Absolutely no structure within the business whatsoever. Existing staff not offered opportunity to apply for senior roles or any progression opportunities - New staff brought in instead. Additional unrelated tasks being given to consultants taking away precious sales time and then questioned on roles not being serviced. All round horrible and worst work experience.

Pros

none - i had a good team though and we all had great craic. Everything was done by the book and done correctly despite what some temps have said esp around holiday pay and timesheets.

Cons

Management is absolutely awful; i worked in the actual kennedy office; lots of abuse from agency staff and management done nothing. Management were happy for my colleagues and I to take this abuse with absolutely nothing done about it. We were constantly swore at. Wages were exceptionally poor for the amount of work you were suppose to do; issues with wages was not finance fault yet they got the brunt of it all which makes kennedy inept at dealing with such large contracts. My personal line manager was fantastic but higher management was terrible. Staff are not valued in any way; bonuses and commission being cut without notice. In my time there at least 9 people left.

Pros

During ongoing assignment I was always paid on time (weekly), though the payment day seems to have recently changed from Thursday to Friday

Cons

Communication from Kennedy recruitment is extremely poor. Often payslips are delayed in being sent through. Accrued annual leave is also not effectively communicated and an unanswered query on balance resulted in two days leave being lost due to lack of satisfactory clarification on current balance
