Pros

- Prepare to join a company thats good to gain experience - Deceiving business partners - Patronising customers - Working through burnout - Spending your free ten seconds each night counting pennies - Lording your position over the interns - Crash-course in decoding management’s blah blah, blah blah blah blah - Knowing that this is the best job opportunity you’ll ever have, ever, Ever, EVER!

Cons

- It’s like making raclette: sweet at first, got sour real quick! - No sense of propriety at the top - Hypocrisy ahoy! Prepare for threats and blackmail with a smile. - Someone seems to have hacked a ex-colleague’s e-mail account and is sending boring e-mails out to clients! - If I were a monkey, I’ll slap that silly organ grinder, seriously, not even peanuts at this point - Where’s the shop steward? Wait, this isn’t a union, got a problem? Suck it up. - If you’re ill, it better be life threatening, it’s a holiday otherwise. And if it’s family, well, it’s not you, so you’re working. - How long’s this meeting? Half an hour. Three hours later…

Pros

Most of the employees are nice

Cons

The company is family run, which makes it difficult to raise concerns fairly. Senior leadership (family members in director roles) are untouchable, regardless of behaviour, in my opinion. I personally experienced behavior from someone at director level that I found inappropriate and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. When I raised this formally, I did not feel supported. Despite reporting the issue, I was asked to serve my full three-month notice period, which I found difficult in that environment so I therefore chose to resign with immediate effect. I didn’t feel that the companies HR department handled my grievance impartially. In my opinion I feel that they trap people with a 3 month notice, even for junior roles that can easily be filled, making it difficult for employees to leave challenging situations. As a company they are supposed to have a duty of care for employees, however in my experience, I don’t think this duty was fulfilled.
