Pros

Money wasn’t too bad considering

Cons

When I think of the Hampton Office all it reminds me of is that movie mean girls. The culture there is shocking and saddening if you don’t fit in with the clique then the girls will be so cruel to you then they will pretend or act innocent and make you feel like you shouldn’t even look at them. I have watched this happen over and over again to people and they always have to have a target

Pros

Some nice people Some opportunities based on location and friendship groups

Cons

I want you to know this is constructive and not a person that is “out to ruin your reputation” I worked for Tela for over 3 years and now I’ve moved on I will say what’s on my mind. First thing I have read lots of reviews on here from upset ex employees, you really need to take notice of that. It is not one person on repeat. Lots of people have felt like that and there is bullying and cliques within the Hampton office and it does stand out like a sore thumb. It is the same people doing it too and they are deputy managers and heads of departments. It didn’t bother me as I was fortunate not to be a target but I have seen people ripped to shreds. It is all very sneaky and gossipy and Tela could really be so much more if this was not going on and HR Senior Management stopped protecting these people and enabling the behaviour. What a shame. I would have probably stayed but reasons like this make me disappointed and I can’t watch this get even worse and people get protected just because they are friends.

Pros

Nice little block in Hampton mind. Location good if you are local. Parking ok. That’s as good as it gets and the ackers could be worse

Cons

Never been made to feel so uncomfortable like, reading all of the reviews on here I can tell you they are true it really is a bully culture from a clique that make you feel you don’t belong for no reason. Babby like me had to walk cause if you dare say how you feel they will have HR on you and make you leave before they listen to ya mind. Run fast if ya can my lasses unless you want to join a team of nasty girls who have nothing better to do
