Business outlook
Pros
Working for a well known brand looks great on the CV, benefits and the people were great, however the benefits could be difficult to access.
Cons
Lack of support, high expectations and lack of communication from senior management when there are problems. Size of a very inexperienced team halved then they wondered why standards slipped after offering little - no support, then making a fairly junior member of staff responsible for it all without supporting her in improving. Working so many hours on such a poor salary meant that by going over salaried wage (40 hours) by just 5 hours a week dropped salary below minimum wage threshold - 50 hour weeks were not unusual. Agreed lieu time was then difficult to redeem due to workload.
