Pros
Nice friendly team, great christmas parties and free access to the owner’s gym.
Kontras
Probably one of the worst places I have worked at. The director/owner operated a culture of fear which led to a very negative working environment. People were scared to speak up, particularly when he was in a bad mood. There was no genuine concern for staff welfare and we were expected to work late and ‘put the hours in’ but got in trouble if we were a few minutes late in the morning.
I found the director to be crass, showing off his supercars and designer purchases whilst paying staff below market salaries and not even offering any paid sick leave - demonstrating that you can succeed in business without ever learning how to manage people.
The other staff made it bearable - they were nice to work with and you could have a laugh with them, but the negative atmosphere meant that everyone constantly complained about work which was very draining.
