The worst place I have ever worked for - ever

Pros

The morning teas every month. Some really great cakes.

Cons

This is by far the most toxic place I have ever worked for. I was bullied and made to feel incompetent. Leadership team is the worst I have ever experienced. There is a blame culture, micromanagement, people are promoted because of who they know and how loud they scream. Bullying is encouraged and they just work people until they get fed up and leave. No recognition at all. Everything is just swept underneath the carpet.

Pros

Company provides free alcohol to all staff to drink during work hours on Fridays which makes the poor management slightly more tolerable?

Cons

People are hired and promoted based on being a "good culture fit" and not based on education or work experience. There are no women in the management team. The office environment is tense because staff are afraid to voice their opinion. Staff is encouraged to be vulnerable and communicate however if the opinion or suggestion does not align with management you will be treated differently and excluded. Lack of HR support has led to negative employer / employee interactions and a high turn over rate.

One word: Disappointing

Pros

Staff incentives: monthly massages, stocked kitchen, welcome afternoon teas, birthday celebrations, Friday afternoon drinks, staff lunches, Christmas celebrations and end of financial year gatherings

Cons

Unfortunately there is lack of communication within the business and those who are affected by changes happening within the company are kept in the dark. The “core values” that are held in such high regard are not adhered to by upper management. Progression is preached however it’s a case of “not what you know, it’s who you know.” The HR department or should I say, lack of HR department have the tendency to sweep things under the rug in hope that it will disappear. The recent redundancies that occurred within the GoGetta brand were handled extremely poorly and the message out to the wider business/ shareholders about having as many staff “redeployed” as possible was an utter lie.
