Pros

When I worked there, I worked with some truly amazing people, that I'm still friends with today. Also, there is such a high employee turnover that you could potentially move up quickly.

Cons

They work in a completely reactive environment based on the CEO's whims. Nepotism is rife so most of the senior management comprises of people who are woefully unqualified for their positions; they just happen to be a cousin of the CEO, etc. There is no planning, foresight or visibility in any of the departments, so therefore a lot of work is repeated or just completely pointless as a prop will go live and then be taken down the following week. Everything is shrouded in secrecy as there has been a lot of speculation about where the company gets its money.

Hi there, Thanks for giving us your feedback. I'm glad that you worked with some of our amazing employees, but I'm sorry to see that you have a negative outlook on your time with GUS. We are currently working on improving our communication processes, but I will pass your comments on to HR. Best, Helen.

Cons

Have not experienced any negatives yet.
