Pros
- Occasionally get access to travel and experience high-level industry events, if company revenue targets allows for it. - Some opportunities to work on projects that align with your passions and contribute positively to the world. - Sales roles can see decent results during strong years, especially around big events like COP. - Management is 'working' on it's culture
Cons
1. Benefits and bonuses are only awarded if sales targets are hit, regardless of other departments' achievements. 2. Rarely any team events due to tight budgets. 3. Small business so expect to be stretched for several roles, not just the job description you sign up for (expect this to change in the first four weeks). 4. Promises made during interviews may not always align with the actual experience. 5. Favoritism is noticeable across all levels, affecting opportunities for growth, despite how hard employee effort is. 6. Strict top-down management approach, with little room for upward feedback. 7. Advancement opportunities are limited, rarely promote up from within. 8. On-site events often involve long hours (14+), minimal breaks, basic food, 2-3* accommodation, sometimes over an hour far from the venue. Management and select colleagues often have separate accommodation to rest of employees. 9. Management frequently initiates new projects before finishing ongoing ones, often with little communication or feedback from the market or employees. 10. Little holiday in compensation package and employees are required to submit holiday 3months in advance and are not allowed to book any holiday or use days in lieu during Sept-Dec. 11. A disconnect between management and customer understanding, with select voices among colleagues only listened to. 12. Company revenue heavily depends on high-activity climate years. 13. Ideal employees are those comfortable with multitasking, following direction, and pandering to management. 14. Interns are almost never employed full time, despite the outlook discussed by management at interview stage.
