Pros

NONE. I would have said the employees but they’re all leaving.

Cons

Where do I begin. 1. No salary increases or reviews unless you’re a manager. 2. It’s normal for the CEO to barge into the office yelling to staff. 3. Several complaints about a certain member of staff are ignored, meaning there is a BULLY still working there who has caused great members of staff to leave because of her actions. 4. Very long hours with the expectation of over time as they give you too much work to do. 5. Firing staff to ‘cut costs’ whilst the CEO and managers are getting extremely high salaries. 6. Toxic environment where previous staff are blamed for things. 7. Unhappy employees, everywhere. 8. The trustpilot score is high because we’re forced to bribe clients to delete them by offering them money!!! 9. Roles unofficially changing as we’re expected to take on loads more work, but without a glimpse of a salary review. 10. Firing London based staff and replacing them with remote workers (low pay) from South Africa and the Philippines who have absolutely no idea about London or the London market, so the office based staff are expected to pick up their slack. Overall it’s an absolute joke. The managers are revelling in their high salaries whilst the rest of us are struggling. Firing decent staff members so you can hire remote workers for 10p an hour is shameful. There are guest complaints every single day so even our properties aren’t up to standard.

Pros

There are no pros, trust me. The cafes in the area are decent I guess.

Cons

I could go into detail about how bad it is working here, but I don't want to waste energy. Avoid this place at all costs unless you are hoping to be fired after a few months because of apparent restructuring.

Pros

The coworkers are great and there is a good morale between people. There are snacks and coffee in the office. I was given opportunities to grow and learn in the business.

Cons

The upper management doesn't see what their employees do on a day to day basis. They don't know the scope of work and responsibilities people are dealing with. The workload and pressure is extremely high, I was given the work of at least 3 people and was pressured to continously be on top of 100 things at the same time and received harsh feedback and rude comments from the CEO, who would often yell and swear during meetings. Opinions of low to middle level employees are not listened too. There are managers in the business who don't know how to deal with people and cause an unpleasant environment for everyone else, complaints are not really addressed. Salaries are not being increased, no matter how hard someone works or if their responsibilities increase.
