The bad management of this company stems from the top down. The owner not only do not have a clue in business (as is indicated by a string of failed other business in their past along with law suits and court appearances) but also have no respect for their staff, with a tow the line or your out attitude (often quoted in those exact terms)
You are expected to work, at whatever level of the company you are at, 'as required' and are seen as a problem if the most important thing day and night is the job.
The main problem stems from not being able to manged client expectation from the very top. A 'yes man' causes all the issues by agreeing to everything, without consultation with senior management or other directors then expecting everyone in the company to make it happen, so he dosnt loose face, even if the task in hand is either unachievable. if you fail, despite highlighting the issues, this is then your failing.
This review may be beginning to sound like sour grapes, which i can assure you its not. more a warning to anyone considering employment here. if you believe what is said at interview or in adverts, please dont be fooled. It is very much smoke and mirrors at best and at worst out and out lies.
I failed do to do adequate research before joining. having now the insider knowledge and more research behind me the owners of this company have but one thing on their minds lining their pockets and using whatever methods are required and regardless of the impact on other people.
Please once again...do adequate research on this company before committing. Have the contract ready by your solicitor (its worthless!) research the previous names of the company (which has changed three time and been in liquidation twice. Also the business past of the main shareholders, their other failed business and previous court appearances.
My advice.. stay clear!
