Hays reviews

Quite frankly, my manager was a bully. I worked for the business for just over 2 years, and the main reason why I dreaded getting up for work in the morning was the thought of spending the day with my manager. Unsupportive, nasty, clearly had favourites and overall was the worst manager I have had in my career. This was something felt across the team, but no one felt they could say anything as they didn't feel they would be listened to. In the end the team voted with their feet.

My own personal experience left an extremely sour taste in my mouth. Despite having my first child and looking for a work life balance, my director still expected me to work late nights & sacrifice time with my child, despite the fact I was a successful biller in the office and I worked extremely hard during the working day. This is straw that broke the camels back and left to me leaving. There were senior managers who seemed untouchable no matter their performance or inappropriate behaviour due to the fact they were in the pockets of their directors. The KPI management was onerous, even if you were a senior member of staff & billing well.
