Pros

Good people, who often are trying to improve things

Cons

Worst onboarding process I’ve ever experienced. No support or training available. High staff turnover, followed by not replacing roles thus increased workloads. 4 financial directors in 6 months! Lack of job security with people disappearing weekly. Lack of communication from senior leadership particularly relating to disappearing staff/organisational structure so you have no idea who to contact or understand roles/responsibilities. Poor collaboration between departments. Lack of sufficient processes exacerbated by the lost knowledge/skills due to turnover, redundancies, communication, collaboration issues as above. Jumping from “urgent” project to project each week, not giving enough time for completion or providing clarity on project targets/outcomes. Jumping to next project despite no progress or even metrics monitored for the last “urgent” project. Expectation of early starts and late finishes as standard. Meeting invites at 7am and on same day at 8pm! No understanding of staff well-being. Poor working culture.

Pros

Hybrid and working from home

Cons

Holiday, pension, death in service. They’re about all the benefits you get. No sick pay. No Xmas celebrations. No Easter celebration. Quick exit redundancy. Pay average. No incentives. No overtime. If you work over there’s no extra pay or option to take as holiday. Heavy workload. Lack of support from management. Training via teams and limited. Not very friendly. In my opinion it’s a company stripped to a skeleton staff and in trouble financially in the UK

Pros

Free parking Free drinks from vending machine

Cons

Avoid this company like the plague Too many managers Not enough staff No pay rises Over burdened with work Forced to work weekend overtime - no one will take weekend shifts as no one wants to work them Don't pay you for overtime worked during the week Engineers unable to do jobs you give them due to lack of parts Poor communication between staff and departments Couldn't organise a drink in a brewery Poor training Uncompetitive pay Low morale Management happy to delegate work but unable to do the work themselves Had people from completely different departments try and dump their work on me when they were due to go on holiday even though I've never been trained for their work No one covers your work when you go on holiday It's a pain to try and take holiday Unable to take more than 1 weeks holiday if you work in the office Management and directors live in la la land and have no idea how bad it is for anyone who isn't in a Management or director position.

Pros

There really aren’t any pros to working for this company which outweigh the cons.

Cons

-Unachievable targets -Rigged bonus system, it’s so complicated you can’t understand it to work out what you are owed -Blame culture from directors in the commercial team- when they lose big accounts the blame is passed down to the staff below -Bullying culture, which is not even done behind closed doors and even the decent managers that do work there happily sit back and watch -Hours and hours of pointless internal calls, questioning sales and plans -Awful onboarding/training program, they are “obsessed” with brain washing you with the company values and beliefs and don’t even bother training you on systems and product range -They are losing big accounts left right and centre, due to debt with their clients, bad service and inconsistency with communication I could go on with the amount of cons about this company, my advice to anyone reading this is to avoid the company at all costs. You will be in and out once you realise how unhealthy their culture is and how bad their service is with their clients

Pros

- Some lovely people across the teams - Access to nice snacks and lunches in the office

Cons

- There is very little training and abysmal support from leaders and higher up - results in employees constantly not knowing what to do and mistakes - When joining you’re given accounts that are struggling as your portfolio and given a ridiculous target to make with those accounts - who have lost all faith in the company and been neglected for years and therefore no matter how good a deal will never choose Selecta - Bullying behavior from higher up leaders - group calls where individuals are shouted at and hurled unkind words without any sense of constructive feedback or room for growth - Lack of culture - no recognition for achievement other than a daily email with figures and names on. Never any staff events of celebrations - Very cliquey, uncomfortable office environment for everyone - false rumours spread like wildfire - Hundreds of daily emails of complaints about service, invoicing and billing - enough to drive anyone insane no matter how resilient or hardworking the character - Small and rude contracts team who prioritize those who have been in the business for longer and have larger accounts - making the sales process much longer and more difficult

Pros

Sometimes offered a coffee while working.

Cons

Training on new equipment abysmal, spare parts availability laughable, (most) office staff and management couldn't give a damn about anything, Not a nice company to work for in anyway.
