Pros
6 Alpha gave me the chance to realise where I wanted to end up by introducing me to an industry i had never worked in. The industry is fairly interesting but gets old quickly as it is very niche.
Cons
When starting I was taken on as a temp and then offered full time employment. As they took staff on as temps it meant they couls get rid of them at a days notice rather than d what most companies do and give a probationary period. As such the company had a high turn over. The MD started off by saying it was flat hierarchy which was clearly not the case when they employed a number of managerial staff above the majority of staff meaning there was no room for progression. I understand the need to grow a business however do not ignore your staff when they wish to train, take on more of a role and help grow the company. All suggestions at us getting additional training were met with a i want you to stay where you are we can get someone else to do it. Additionally all of us were over worked in busy times often working extra hours overtime which were uncontracted and unpaid. Team meetings took a good half hr instead of 5 minute briefing as promised with random metafors like fighting off alligators or similar. Keep it to the point or dont be surprised when your staff havent done the work you wanted.
