Pros
- Largely independant. (This can be a con too) - Interesting work and clients - Talented managers and employees
Cons
- Management is a disaster; taking the company in the wrong direction and zero respect of their employees or even their own managers. Will ignore you for months if given the chance. - Massive blame culture. The employees are blamed for a decrease in revenue when they invest in hiring new heads in order to try and guilt employees into staying content with current non-raising pay. The employees are blamed for lack of productivity due to 2.5 avg sick days. (UK Average is 5-6 btw) - Poor pay, like trying to get blood from a stone trying to get a payrise and even when you get it, it won't even match inflation. They won't give you those either most likely. - An Employee Ownership Trust company that holds "bonuses" behind threats. Property stolen from the company? Then everybody suffers a hit to their bonus. Not hitting sales targets? Everybody suffers a hit to their bonus. Collective punishment but no collective accomplishments or accountability from management. - Their working from home policy is slowly being scrapped due to old-fashioned views of the director. They want people in the office, so they can sell the office due to being invested in the building itself. Makes sense, but at the cost of flexibility and the work/life balance of the employees who are held to a strict leesh of having to ask for each individual day from your manager. - Managers are powerless pawns of upper management / directors. They'll report issues of morale and no availability and the response is cold silence and an expectation they'll deal with it.
