Pros

Pros....pay isn’t that bad that’s why most people put up with it. Plus basically let you take the mick with doing as much over time as you want

Cons

No one to one No bonuses Management need to listen more Lots of bullying Managers that need experience in the real world Office environment is awful and in need of updating Not paperless and waste so much paper every month very out of date company. People stay because it’s easy to where they live and also there normally the ones that are in the managers or managers friends. Certain manager shares personal information with other members of staff. Wish I had read the reviews on here before joking the accounts dep in Chelmsford.

Pros

Colleagues are lovely. Free tea and coffee.

Cons

Senior management that don't have a clue what they are doing or what you do. Therefore offering no guidance or support. Fighting a constant uphill battle to complete tasks that management do not understand due to their lack of knowledge of their teams role within the company. 360 reviews that are used anything more than an HR tick box excercise. Issues and concerns fall on deaf ears, concepts for improvements the same.
