Pros

High-profile clients, good experience for the CV, some friendly staff.

Cons

- Staff are disposible - On call or working almost 24/7. 12 hour work days are the norm - No praise for good work, humiliated among peers for making a mistake - atmosphere of fear throughout whole company - constant micromanaging by senior staff - Obvious nepotism and cronyism and sexist environment - extremely bad for mental health

Hi there, Thanks for your review of Verve. I’m delighted to hear that you felt your time with Verve was good experience and that you got to work with some of our high-profile clients. Its a pity to see the cons you have mentioned, although long hours do go with the job, staff should not feel that they are on call or working almost 24/7. I would be happy to discuss any elements of your review further, if you would like to email me – Rachel@verve.ie. Thanks a mill, Rachel Stuart Talent & Development Manager

Pros

only pro I can give is dog friendly office and nice aseptic to the office itself

Cons

horrible nasty mean girls, even the men act like petty gossip divas. managers think they are gods gift. interns are treated with less respect then anyone, cleaning bins, kitchen etc. will not understand why they won't hire a full time cleaner in such a big office. pay is horrendous for the amount of work you do. unless you become one of those nasty mean girls that gossip about so called 'friends' in the office don't bother applying, if you're a decent person with morals nobody will like you. the older generation in the office is so smirky and act like you can only get your job done if you have more than 30 yrs exp. just an awful awful company to work for. if you're wanting to apply for an event company please look elsewhere. this company is more toxic than your ex boyfriend/girlfriend.
