Cons
***AVOID AVOID AVOID***
> Nearly 200% Turnover of designers & project managers, in less than a year
> Too much travel, accommodation away is the cheapest possible, in bad areas and far from site,
> Weekly, sometimes bi-weekly day trips to London, Often at short notice
> 16+ hour days (with travelling etc), no overtime paid,
> MD is a narcissistic money-hoarder who takes too much of an active interest in the projects
> Mood unpredictable, White washing when it suits, micromanaging when it suits,
> No organisation, at all, no systems in place for anything, juggling multible projects with no flow or information, MD fights every attempt to regulate or structure
> Refuses to pay suppliers until they literally come to the door of the office demanding payment
> Will do anything to save £10, including not sending required equipment to sites, will question project managers on every cutting disk and drill-bit they bring to site
> Doesn't seem to care to delay projects by days or weeks as long as he can blame someone.
> Blames everyone but himself for easily preventable mistakes or delays or shortcomings on his own part
> Abrasive, confrontational blame culture, seem to take enjoyment in pointing out flaws and errors
