Pros

The pros were there but these past few months have diminished a lot of them

Cons

There has been a culture shift and people are quickly starting to look for an exit. HR is a nightmare. They are a group of bullies who seem to do whatever they want and are setting this company up for a huge lawsuit. I want this turned around ASAP. Something very bad is going to happen if things keep going the way they are going today. I am not referring to an isolated incident here. This is an established pattern now and it's going to blow up in our faces. I have been revolted by the business practices of our HR department for months now. And when that department is getting it wrong, we have huge problems. Current and former employees have a lot to say about this and there is a lot of discontent. Please don't mess this huge opportunity up. It would be such a waste.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
