Lack of management from Directors. Directors do not understand the atmosphere they create, almost fear at times! Working hours are long and pay is low. e.g early starts before 8am and no lunch. Fear of leaving desk. Lot's of team changes - Head of buying leaving, buying team turn over. No direction and understanding of money or company budget. No pay rise for staff who are actually working and putting in hours Blame atmosphere and culture No loyalty to staff from directors, directors husband use to work and left and then returned!

Directors completely lack the business acumen needed to run the company. They force all major decisions on to their staff without any input themselves and then penalise them when things don't go how they wanted them to. One of the directors is also completely unprofessional in the workplace; speaks derogatorily about staff behind their back and via email, completely ignores all staff members who resign for the duration of their notice period even if they have worked hard for the company for 3+ years, and tends to conveniently be away on holiday in times of hardship. 14 members of staff have left during the last 5 months (over halving the workforce) due to either being forced/bullied out by the directors & senior management or pushed to leave due to the uncomfortable working environment they create when in the office. Insufficient provision of management and direction given to new members of staff hired to fill the many gaps in the workforce has meant that the vast amount of extra work created has unfairly fallen on the shoulders of the longer remaining staff, in turn completely changing their job role and thus their career against their will. Zero positive recognition or praise is given and no training is ever offered or encouraged. Investing in their staff seems to be the lowest on their list of priorities. If you want a career full of growth and opportunity then this is definitely not the place for you. Superficial perks such as Monday breakfast and beer Friday that have been put in place to boost moral are given and taken away as the directors please.
