Pros

The company is well funded for now

Cons

Draw you in by describing themselves as a friendly company. Once recruited you find yourself repeatedly stabbed in the back by senior management and asked to take on additional full time roles, thus setting you up for a fall. There are no procedures to prevent this. Objectives change daily, which is demoralising and sets you up for even greater falls as you don't achieve much. Management is poor and regressive and there are difficult personalities. Affairs amongst senior management and staff make it difficult to have your voice heard. Legally employees have few rights, in the UK, in the first 2 years in a job. This makes the company high risk. And yes I can't believe I'm saying this, some senior managers are racist

Pros

They will pay you well....but beware, it comes with a price

Cons

Management has no idea what they are doing. Management is not supportive and bite-back a lot. They will smile in your face and stab you in the back. There are no policies in place to assist. The co. will work you like a dog by having you work in two roles. There is NO work-life balance at this place. Many in management are racist.

Pros

The pay, social community, less than a handful of good managers. Most of the non-management staff are very nice.

Cons

Most managers there are back stabbers to their staff. They treat staff as if they have no worth, undermining and many negative things.
