      Don’t work here - Consultant Hays Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of celebrations and team lunches

      Cons

      Really toxic culture, micro management, very poor salary compared to the market, very long hours and totally unrealistic KPIs. Management are not promoted to managerial roles based on their suitability to the role, but rather tenure and how much they bill. Until this stops the very high turn over in the Melbourne CBD Office will not change.
