Avoid if possible - Design Studio Botany Weaving Mill Employee Review

It is close to the Luas

This company had one of the worst work environments I ever experienced. Upper management was completely unprofessional and shouted at team members in front of others, creating a culture of fear and humiliation. There was no proper HR department, so any concerns or complaints from employees were ignored or brushed aside. Employees were treated unequally, with obvious favouritism and no clear reasoning behind decisions regarding promotions, responsibilities, or opportunities. The physical workspace was just as bad. The kitchen was dirty, cramped, and completely inadequate for the number of employees using it. The rest of the office wasn’t much better—it was dusty, cluttered, and poorly maintained, making it an uncomfortable and unhealthy environment to work in. Disrespect was rampant, and leadership made no effort to foster a healthy or supportive work culture. Salaries were far below industry standards, with no benefits offered to make up for it. There was no work-life balance, and any attempt to advocate for yourself was seen as a threat. The overall environment was toxic, unfair, and unsustainable. If you’re considering working here, don’t. Unless major changes are made to management, pay structure, and workplace culture, this company will continue to drive good employees away.

Location, Luas, bus stops, Lidl and Centra nearby.

Senior management operates at an amateur level, contributing to a blame-oriented culture that is ultimately unsustainable. Stress-related leave is frequent. Additionally, the passing of two long-serving staff members was not acknowledged in any way, which came across as deeply disrespectful.
