Pros

Opportunity for recent graduates who are full of energy but lack experience (or sense).

Cons

Unsystematic training: the staff turnover is so high that your training will be guided by an inexperienced employee who has been in the company for just a little longer than you. Promotion is the new apology: every time one of the owners makes a big mistake, they will offer a promotion in order to remedy. It’s a shame that the promotion consists only of a fancy job title and more responsibilities. Pay never follows. There was once a department in which everyone was a manager! (They should fire their HR for that; or promote them, more likely). Have you seen how much they pay here? You probably haven’t because it’s too small to be seen with the naked eye. Pressure-cooker environment: staff constantly pressured for unrealistically better performance with very little infra-structure and support. Vertical hierarchy: in which the decision-makers are disconnected from the daily run of the business (and in some cases, reality), resulting in impossible targets and delusional expectations. No appreciation for the human being behind the role (or human beings in general). Employees are seen as cheap and replaceable labour. And they have the audacity to say here that their revenue is less than £1 million! Well, they’re opening branches everywhere around the globe. Maybe their next one should be in Panama.
