Pros

Sense of solidarity with colleagues due to issues with management. Thrown in deep end so you learn quickly

Cons

Management say that they love new ideas yet stay stuck in their old ways. One minute management like you and the next you’re the enemy. They prefer the young staff who are friendly with their daughters and ‘inner circle’, and don’t praise people on merit. They’re incredibly rude and unprofessional, husband and wife team who argue with eachother constantly, even during meetings. Other management individuals don’t acknowledge you and speak down to you. You’re expected to know everything in your first few weeks and shouted at if you don’t. Horrible environment. Other than a core group of ‘favourites’ staff constantly leave.

Pros

Trauma bonded with other girls in the same toxic environment, good opportunity to practice steeling your nerves when being belittled and disrespected.

Cons

Where to start, if you yawn you will be shushed, if you whisper you will be shushed, if you look at a colleague you WILL be shushed. Terrible pay and attitude, considering you are made to feel as if the survival of the company rests on your shoulders. Working here stole the light from my eyes, maybe the positives were the friends we made along the way x
