Toxic work environment.
- Founder will have full blown arguments with team members in front of the entire office.
- Marketing management; particularly awful and most people in the office have witnessed multiple junior members of this team crying, you will regularly witness very personal attacks and gas-lighting in this area of the office. The entire marketing team has left within eight months of these new management changes.
- Founder shows favouritism to those who agree and pander to her, meaning anyone who disagrees or speaks out is ignored or discriminated against.
Low holiday allowance.
- 23 days with 3 having to be taken over Christmas despite the office being closed. Lack of respect for holiday days, team members are regularly called/text and expected to answer emails whilst on holiday.
Poor Pay.
- All staff are underpaid by industry standards, and most team members are doing 5 jobs in one anyway. Founder is oblivious to this however and will expect staff at maximum capacity to do even more.
Zero work/life balance or company culture.
- No good benefits, no HR department, statutory maternity. Statutory sick pay means people will come into the office when sick because they genuinely can’t afford to be off.
- Employees who leave on time or take a full hour for lunch are frowned upon, there is a general belief that if you aren’t working late and over your lunch, you aren’t working hard enough.
- When office morale is down (which is often) management make a poor attempt to boost employees by buying everyone pizza.
3 month notice period for all staff
- And expect to spend that entire three months having your decision to leave or new role openly bad mouthed by founder or management.
Glassdoor bribery
- It is common knowledge that team members have been offered payment in exchange for a positive reviews on Glass Door.
