Communisis Reviews

Everything! It's a depressive, narrow minded, toxic environment. If you have the unfortunate experience of taking a permanent role or even a contracted role with this company, you will regret the acceptance of it. I am confident in saying that. Moreover and notwithstanding, taking into consideration what can only be referred to as 'optimisation' - you will ultimately soon be without a position altogether. Thank goodness for 'off shoring'. That way you can also apportion blame of your incompetency as a company onto a third party. Clever. No client will be any the wiser. Firstly, I am not an aggrieved employee. Far from it. I am merely disappointed that I wasted my time predicated on pernicious descriptions of a job role which was mis-sold from the outset. There is no formal training. When I mention training. Please do not interpret this as an innate need to participate in external, non relevant classes or certifications - just to get myself ahead through company expenses. As a minimum, you would expect some form of product or platform training within your induction. Instead you experience facetious and artiface approaches to a formal handover. Left to your own devices to 'figure it out'. It seems that the attitude of most is...'that's how I had to learn'. It's company wide. There is an inherent blame culture. Once you are a name within a seat, it becomes your responsibility. Full accountability without context becomes your culpability. All because you were cc'd into an email. Even within a fundamental HR approach to people management, it does not exist. You are not supported or represented. If you are not already a member of a Union and accept a role. I recommend 'Unite'. Other unions are available and will happily represent you. If you choose not to take up this advice. 0300 123 1100 - is the Acas helpline, which you are likely to need. Do not listen to any advice that states you cannot contact them 'because you haven't been here two years'. You will be expected to work over your lunch hour and participate in futile telephone calls to speculate on project status and releases because everyone is too afraid to take ownership through fear of reproach. Furthermore, please be aware of any positive reviews contained within Glassdoor. I would be sceptical of these. From many of the reviews I have read, they appear to be written only by senior management to support geographical coverage and posturing. How, the opportunity of 'visiting multiple sites' whether that be Leeds, Liverpool or anywhere else is considered a 'positive'. Remains a mystery to me. Other than to establish a public perception of market share and company reach. The only comment I have on this, is thus; if you are expected to travel to these locations because that is 'oh so positive'. Be prepared to leave your abode at 4am to arrive for 9am. That's right, the unwritten expectation of travel within your own personal time is expected, depsite it clearly not being contained within your written contract. ( Please see inclusion of Acas helpline, above ). If you are motivated by non conformance, failures to adhere to data retention policies and desultory professional working practices. This is the place for you. No project is on time - as all staff are over stretched and without support. Honestly, how the company is still in existence is a complete surprise. Also, if any responses proclaim to be from senior management on here - that is a fallacy because they do not confabulate at any level whilst you're employed, so to consider them sat during their working day or even catching up on correspondence in the evening whilst indulging in an episode of Emmerdale is ridiculous. If you are thinking of working for Communisis. Please don't. Even if it's getting stressful being out of work. Hold tight. You'll find something better. Something far more rewarding. A job with a company that appreciates you. That offers recognition and reward. Do not leave a job because you might be a little bored of it and are potentially sold a challenge. You will only likely be receiving a prescription from your doctor and wishing you had fully considered this abridgment of a formal complaint to an employment tribunal. Written off as a poor experience and one I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Good Luck!

Higher Management are all for themselves Duty of care is non existent Use and abuse staff - when your face fits they allow you to do tasks outside your remit but as soon as heads are to be cut you don’t get a second glance. Corruption of staffing and who get what job - Again if your face fits. Don’t like opinions from “the minions” only top guys are allowed opinions.
