Pros
Fully Remote Working (in some positions) Pay - You get it on time There are some genuinely lovely people in the business that I feel sorry for.
Cons
Okay strap in, this may take a while. Firstly I’d like to caveat this by stating I had read all of the reviews of this business before joining Cuts Ice, as with most things I like to take onboard peoples feedback but draw conclusions based on my own experience, this was my first mistake. I tried to give the business the benefit of the doubt, based on the experiences within my interviews and first 10months in the business, worst decision EVER and now I’m stuck here! You will read reviews on this platform about the CEO and his “complex” personality, this is the understatement of the century. You dont know which version of the CEO you are getting its very much dependant on which side of bed he gets out of is complex to say the least. He is a fine example of a 90’s Micromanager that uses anger and fear to run his business. He is involved in everything, but actually knows or understands very little. The business is archaic, has brands that no-one wants due to multiple factors, but most importantly doesn’t allow experts in there role to actively make the business better. Change is met with resistance, alongside this, one minute your building out a project, believe your about to start the implementation phase only for you to be removed and the project stoped. I’ve personally seen this happen to multiple people, and it’s simply a way of saying we don’t want to change. The business has a toxic culture, with an even more toxic senior leadership team. A CFO that has 0 people skills. They will remove anyone, without notice, without any feedback, just like Cillit Bang - and the person is gone. No probation review meetings, no PDP, nothing... Just your exit planned behind your back, with your peers probably knowing before you do. I could write paragraphs for days about some of the behaviour of the CEO, CFO and others but, I don’t have the mental capacity any more. If like me, you read this and still accept a job with this business and want to give them a chance, good luck! You will need it, the negative reviews on here are entirely accurate.
