Very negative working culture

Pros

Herefordshire is a nice area in which to live and work. It's very scenic and house prices are quite reasonable. Perhaps don't choose Leominster itself, rather commute from Hereford.

Cons

There is a very nasty attitude among staff. I saw a couple of people who suffered from bullying. Rather than be helped by HR, word that they had requested help was obviously spread around the department. It seemed they were marked as trouble makers and disallowed from making contributions to meetings, from having training or in the one case from being promoted into a position I think they were more than capable of. Some staff seem to have a playground mentality, picking on the vulnerable personalities for entertainment. The staff turnover is very high. There were about 30 people in the department in which I worked. I know from friends still working there that less than a third of those people are still left two years later.

Full of false promises, a disingenuous company to work for.

Pros

Honestly none. (this is just to fill the 5-word comment minimum)

Cons

Started the role as a newly enthusiastic graduate looking to start my career and was willingly hired with no industry experience in my role, was reassured training would be provided. Starting work, I was presented with no evidence of a training plan, yet was expected to immediately know everything. No check-ins, feedback or constructive advice from a very dismissive, dishonest and unsupportive manager - alongside negative attitudes from fellow team members who did nothing to support me. They are drained zombies who did not convince me they were happy to work for this company and shockingly showed they very actively criticise management and other team members in a malicious manner- a truly toxic environment to work in. My overall experience here was soul-suckingly disappointing at best. M&M Direct are quick to hire you willingly knowing you have no experience, however, are not interested in investing time or training. They are then even quicker to drop you for not having the level of experience they were looking for. This company does not make any effort to invest in the development and well-being of its staff. If you are considering working here, don’t bother.

Pros

- Allow people from a graduate level -Hybrid working (as the job is able to be done at home) -Friendly team of people, who want to progress & have lots of ambition

Cons

-Unrealistic workload, huge amount of pressures put on individuals which just piles on & on with no added benefits -Figures driven, not people driven -Poor pay, when you request a pay rise you tend to get parred off with an excuse -They would rather lose people from their team, than pay them an extra few K & go through the act of rehiring making people feel under-valued -Poor training, you just get put in and expected to know what your doing even though they know you are fresh -From high up, the attitude is 'make me money', little to no interest in indiviuals just the top filling their pockets -They don't even pay for a christmas party. There are no rewards for hard work
