Pros

Potential for a fun company culture once structure is in place. If this is your first job you will be excited by a cool office with lots of socials and perks. If you want a career, however, this is not the place to be.

Cons

No leadership from the top down. There is no structure for anyone and rather than dealing with problems or heeding advice from staff they prefer to ignore issues in favour of bravado and grandeur. Senior management is a boy's club who are unwilling to take advice from those with more experience. The majority of hires are straight out of uni to save money on salaries. Even most heads of departments are first jobbers who have no experience of the business world or any kind of industry awareness. I greatly regret my time spent working for UNILAD and found the entire experience to be hugely disappointing.

Pros

From the very first day of my employment, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The company are keen for you to absorb the history and core values of the brand, but also encourage you to have the initiative to make the job your own. In the 6 months I have been here, I have been able to work on a lot of exciting projects (such as our documentaries) and have even been able to really make my mark on future changes in the company. There are lots of perks to being part of the company and they are always conscious of you having a good work balance. We currently have a number of perks such as free nail manicures, massages, yoga classes, meditation etc. We also have an 'official' social every month which is always great fun but more socials are always in between as the teams enjoy spending time with each other outside of work. All round an amazing company to work for and such a great bunch of people to work with.

Cons

Processes could be stricter however these are being implemented and are taking affect.

Pros

-A really friendly working environment which was very welcoming from the start. Everyone is very friendly and always happy to help. It feels like a group of friends all working together which is really lovely and encouraging, meaning it was easy to make friends quickly. -There is also a great work/life balance and social side to the company with monthly meetings and drinks, benefits like free massages/manicures, yoga sessions and meditation. As long as you do the work well and get it done on time, there is flexibility which adds to the great environment. -Departments work and communicate together well allowing work to be done effectively. It is a fast pace and dynamic business so lots of exciting stuff going on and always a good laugh. -Senior management are very involved with daily business runnings

Cons

-I was not here long enough (2 months) to really see any downsides to the company. I know staff would like more company socials but I guess that's no surprise!
