Pros

At the time great peer team, but they have all moved on also. Handful of senior managers in the business who know how to run a team based on merit not favouritism.

Cons

Pay is significantly below industry average after agent level, especially if an internal hire. Benefits are so far behind the market that it is almost laughable. No pension though it was promised by the exec at an all associates meeting so you know how good their word is. Shift pattern for team managers is a joke, consistently have to come in on additional weekends due to poor planning. Development pathways is a complete waste of time, again an exercise in favouritism by the Propaganda...I mean People team. No self respect for themselves as a business, taking back former staff who crawl back when they realise BS doesn't sell as well in other companies, how then would they have any respect for staff? All of this comes down to an Exec / Snr Mgmt team who have absolutely no courage to make unpopular calls for the good of the company (not the business) or who have checked out and are simply waiting for a payday from another buyout. Team Managers have been asked to suggest to the 'positive' members of their teams to leave good Glassdoor reviews to counter the truthful ones posted.

Pros

Free banana & cereal...to prep u for the cons...

Cons

This company takes it's reputation of having probably one of the worst cultures in Ireland very seriously. It's a churn & burn culture, where they hire & fire at free will. Cronyism is the key to keeping your job & I think this leads to a very insecure environment where everyone is putting each other down. Culture is top-down and this possibly comes from one of the founders who is basically unprofessional (ask around & you'll know why). If you ever consider joining, try to get in touch with people who worked there for an honest opinion. Do not fall for the fake 'happy people' image falsely doctored by the "People" team who are the chief politicians here.

Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

People team (HR) can pick whoever the choose based on their on personal feelings no matter how the individual performs their work. High turnover of staff as people cannot stick the toxic atmosphere that the people team/ HR have created within the company. Senior management continues to allow the bullies to exist in the firm despite this ongoing problem.
