Pros
- Lovely people - Great social culture - Some really good incentives - from bottles of wine to free holidays - Work doesn't follow you home, once the day is done at 5pm you are done
Cons
- No HR presence e.g. when probation reviews, promotions etc are made HR are never involved - Managers seem to have no training, they are just promoted from sales people and thrown into the role - Call centre like vibe - managers pace the floors shouting about how much money they need in an hour, the role is not advertised as being like a call centre which is so misleading for graduates - Isn't really a graduate role - Training is minimal, you're thrown into the role and kind of left to it - Big decisions are made without consulting the employees - Massively high turnover, huge numbers of sales force leaving - Office gossip and politics - 'Dubious' deals are really common and no one ever gets into trouble for them - No data protection, customer's credit card details are constantly written down and left around the office for anyone to see - Hardly any of the people who have joined IRIS within the past six months are still there or see themselves there in another six months, seems to be only the longer term staff who enjoy working there - Really difficult for any kind of progression, very few staff will ever progress and no one ever is offered the opportunity to move to a different business function - No real company culture or values, lots of dodgy dealings which means you compromise your own values to work here
