Pros

I do not mean this to be unprofessional but I’m struggling to find the pros

Cons

The company owner does not and will not ever value his staff, saying everyone is replaceable. While I was there, 9 of the 17 staff members left and since then 6 more have either left or been made redundant. Staff have been asked to take -25% from their already below average salary as the business isn’t bringing in the income. The removal of support staff now means the developers are picking up the phones and dealing with all lines of support on top of all development work. There are a few members of staff close to the owner who would push their mistakes on to anyone and get away with it. Staff are not treated fairly and never will be as the owner has discussed. While I was there it was made clear that this is a lifestyle business for the owner however currently it’s not even paying for that. All senior developers have now left including the development manager. Promises were made and written into my contract but never carried out.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry that you feel you didn’t have an enriching or rewarding time whilst part of our team. We appreciate that it is not possible to please everyone all of the time, however, we certainly work very hard to engage and motivate our talented team. Our 2019 Employee Engagement survey delivered really positive responses, and we have worked closely with our team to implement some exciting initiatives and the feedback has been fantastic. Our people are our most valuable resource so it makes no sense to under motivate or under reward them. If you have a great attitude, a willingness to learn and a commitment to great customer service then whatever role you undertake, you will be nurtured and rewarded at Catalina. We wish you all success in your future career and will continue to support ex-employees developing their careers.
