Pros

Modern office in great part of London - snacks and coffee machine provided.

Cons

Despite initial high hopes for this agency, unfortunately it came to light quickly that the culture and working environment at MCCGLC is very unhealthy. Despite being sold by recruiters that this is one of the only agencies that has a 7-hour working day, this is far from the case. There is an expectation to work long hours and there is absolutely no consideration or acknowledgement for personal boundaries. Management are disorganised, completely out of touch with the thoughts/needs of employees and staff are frequently guilt tripped if they push back on unrealistic expectations. Management also exercise a cut-throat hire and fire policy. There are no formal development plans in place and it seems the agency operates on a reactive ‘fight fires’ approach rather than proactive forward planning.
