Pros

Young team, which wants to grow. A beer on a Friday, if you can get one.

Cons

Pretty much everything is a downside. The CEO speaks to you like dirt. If they ask your opinion, don't bother giving it, as they won't care and laugh in your face. Management skills are extremely lacking in most of the people that work there. Customer Service department are used and thrown away like toys. The turnover of staff is the highest I've seen in any company. You will often be told that if you don't do something (like work weekends/evenings/ cancel your holiday or even not come in when ill) you're extremely easily replacable. If Customer Service department gets too many negative complaints (due to the fact that there's no staff to answer calls/emails/chats, because the CEO REFUSES to employ more people) be prepared to be made a scape goat and be unceremoniously fired, without any basis - no previous feedbacks of company not being satisfied with your work. Horrific place to work at.

We’re sorry to hear that this was your experience at the company. 
 Our business is very seasonal, so it might be possible that team members are required to work extra hours in the busy periods, but we do offer time in lieu for all teams, should that be the case. We think that it’s important to be able to take that time off later and encourage staff to do so as the season starts to quiet down to get some rest. 
 We’re also sorry to hear that you haven’t had the best experience with management. Some of our managers are in a leadership role for the first time in their career, but we believe in every manager’s abilities and are proud that a lot managers have been promoted into their roles from within the business. They get regular training to help them build on their abilities and can rely on our very experienced C-Suite at any time. We value every one of our staff and we follow ACAS approved processes whenever handling a staff related situation to ensure everyone is treated fairly and equally. 

If there’s anything that you’d like to discuss in more detail, feel free to reach out to our HR department at any time.

The only good things are the great colleagues

Cons

They promise things they will not do, they are aggressive with a very dominant leadership style. Rip you off the whole way along. Exploit their employees and considering and very controlling

Pros

Great company to turn your life to the worse and pursue a field study into moral misery

Cons

If they have a chance to breach contractual agreements for short term gain, they will take it. If they have a chance to lie about revenue numbers, trustpilot/glassdoor reviews and any other facts to get out of trouble, they will take it.
