Pros
Decent pay, lovely colleagues (for the most part). I was promoted three times because my colleagues championed me and believed in my potential.
Cons
Senior management is dreadful. This is the problem - everything stems from poor decisions, outdated ideas and lack of cohesion with the staff. The company is owned and managed by an elderly couple who are seriously out of touch with modern business practices. People are hired into senior positions and then blocked from using their often significant expertise. There is nobody to speak with in confidence, no way to raise concerns without risking being fired - I spoke out because of more robust employee rights. I was at the company for 3 years and contributed a huge amount and built great relationships with colleagues and clients alike; I truly cared about what I did. The CEO didn’t say or write a word to me when I resigned, not even to acknowledge that I had decided to leave. That says a lot in my opinion. It’s a shame - the company has potential but will never flourish as it is.
