Pros

Colleagues and a free bar on a Friday after work.

Cons

Everything. Managers speak to you like rubbish, implement systems that don’t work then get on at you for lack of productivity even though they made you work that way. Team leaders who sit on their backside doing nothing but talk all day then wrote reports on how you’ve been working all day to send to directors. Shambles.

Pros

None at all really apart from probably free tea & coffee!

Cons

Training is very poor, basically you get thrown into a chair next to somebody who for me, was very helpful in the very beginning, however it starts to makes you feel awkward asking them for help as you feel you are interrupting their workload. The employees already there are all very 'clicky' with each other & you do not feel welcome at all. Unfortunately, problems outside of work, out of my control, caused me to have a few days off in my first few of weeks. I understand this does not look good when you first begin employment, however I thought there may have been some kind of support with this & maybe a 1st written warning etc, but there was nothing, it was straight to termination of contract. The amount of customer complaints that also came through was phenomenal, so not only are they an awful company to work for, I don't think they treat their customers any better either. I guess it all boils down to money, money, money though with most employers now & they don't have any regard for anyone but themselves. Shame really.

Pros

Not a lot. Other than a drink after work on a Friday.

Cons

Micro-managed like nothing I've seen before. After leaving and experiencing a new working environment I can't quite believe they have anyone working for them. The whole place is toxic. I never felt comfortable and thought that was just the way everyone felt at work. Nope, just there.
