Pros
Lovely team of designers as peers Pretty straightforward design work that’s rewarding as you quickly see an idea become a manufactured product Biggest relief you’ll ever experience when you hand in your notice
Cons
MD will voice his opinion very loudly and will belittle staff. Publicly pushed people to vote a certain way in an election - very unprofessional Hostile working environment with little support. 2 days in and you’ll be expected to be at 100 percent and will be reprimanded and disciplined if you make mistakes Don’t be late, ever, or you’ll be disciplined straightaway At least 2 hours overtime required everyday - no pay or time back for this. And this rubbish about some months being quieter, yeah they are in the summer, but you’ll be expected to still work till past half 5 (so a normal day) and then will be working till 7-8pm everyday from November - March at least! Half an hour for lunch and no canteen - wolf that pasta down or you’ll be disciplined Poisonous atmosphere - management spy on you (there’s a camera in the office). No trust between employees or trust between employees and management. Sales team will add a whole job at 5pm, meaning you have to stay till 8 as no work can be rolled over to the next day on the schedule - or you’ll be disciplined (notice a pattern? No talking in the office, no listening to music, or the MD will throw the radio off the balcony
