Don’t like the management team - Marketing Research Acritas Employee Review

1. Free fruit was offered once a week.

1. No sick pay. 2. Corrupt management, will often hear them talking negatively about people who previously worked there, and often read out emails they had sent when they worked there in an attempt to belittle them. Real issues were raised but were not taking seriously by management. 3. There is a lot of pretending to be your "friend", then speaking behind your back to others. Can not trust this work environment. 4. Cliquey and extreme silos. If you don't fit, best find somewhere else to work. 5. Large majority of people don't know what they are doing, will often go around in circles finding out who is best to answer. 6. High turnover due to lot of reasons above. 7. Have a reputation for how they get rid of people, once moving jobs others spoke negatively about Acritas and particularly the management within. 8. Lack of understanding about true Marketing.

Since being bought out my Thomson Reuters, there's a better chance to transfer to a better part of the company.

Management are bullies and misuse Performance Improvement Plans to constructively fire people. Turn over is absurd. Heavy siloing, and poor inter-team communication. Near-zero progression routes or development. Promised CPD or development never showed. Little consideration for mental health, particularly during COVID. Was given a 1% raise, and in the meeting the CEO talked at length about her holidays during recent months - insulting and depressing environment all round. No flexibility since being bought out by Thomson Reuters. Pay - particularly for translating positions - was abysmal. That's a skill that is worth minimum £35,000 a year. You'd be lucky to get much above minimum wage, and don't expect wages alongside inflation.
