Pros

There's a fruit stall nearby with more quality than the people running FoodBev Media. Seriously, the fruit stall is the best thing about working there.

Cons

The owner is a dinosaur who hasn't caught up to the fact media is digital-first in the 21st century. The trickle-down effect of his autocracy is to crush any innovation and make FoodBev a thoroughly disappointing place to work.

Anyone is very welcome to come and see what it's really like. Every owner has to check new activities are sound investments. In fact, FoodBev Media has the strongest digital presence of any competitor worldwide. R

Pros

A great editorial team which supports each other greatly and has a great dynamic, hybrid working is clearly and effectively organised, great opportunities for developing one's career, and opportunities to work abroad representing the company, health benefits and discount gym membership in Bath

Cons

Lack of communication between departments, pay grade low for the type of work, and other departments can exhibit toxic behaviour that can spill over. there can be a little division between Zenith and FoodBev staff as the two don't tend to mix a great deal.
