Pros
The most positive thing about this place is that all jobs from now on will be an improvement.
Kontras
It was always interesting to see how long it took a new employee to lose their enthusiasm with Bulk. The average was two weeks. Skilled people are hired and then micro managed by their department heads who are ultimately micro managed by a control freak owner who seriously thinks he can do everybody’s job better. Jobs are advertised with 15% bonus potential; however 10% is the maximum and the most given out in the four years of its inception is 1%- and that was after hitting 100% profit target and 95% turnover target. Because of the micro management, the longer you work at Bulk, the less skilled you will be and ultimately unemployable. Long term, loyal employees get little to no pay rises, whilst new employees with less experience get hired for substantially more. Training and development is extremely limited. High end output is expected with low end equipment and requests to improve on equipment is met with disdain. Holiday is the bare minimum, hours are long, there is no overtime pay but you are expected to work extra, working from home is absolutely not allowed. ‘Perks’ consist of a standard out of the box corporate package offering a few quid off cinema tickets. Even the staff discount is less than what the customers get. From the outside, Bulk looks like it would be a great place to work. From the inside, morale is low, working conditions are thirty years out of date and this place will burn you out.
