Pros
There are some wonderful people who work at UNiDAYS, which really is the best thing about the company. You also get student discount on the brands.
Cons
It really is a boys club, I wouldn’t recommend unidays to any females. Meetings in strip clubs, half hearted efforts to start a ‘women in leadership’ programme, where there was only one meeting that the CEO attended and actually asked “do you not just think women aren’t as driven as men” and ridiculous inequality in pay. The CEO appears to be hiring more women at the moment in senior positions however these women will never been treated equal to their male counterparts. All the comments on here around it being like a dictatorship, are also fair. People have given up trying to make decisions based on their experience or knowledge, ultimately you have to do what you think the CEO wants you to do. It always amused me that staff would read the same business books as the CEO to be able to actually have a conversation with him, as he generally just regurgitates whatever business bumph he’s recently swallowed. It’s like he has business quote of the day toilet paper. Next business venture for UNiDAYS? Development and training here is pretty much nonexistent albeit some of the C level staff are good to their team members and will put you on a training course. As mentioned there is a massive disparity between gender pay, which is really unfortunate for women because the pay isn’t great for men either. I really would have a good think before taking a job here. If you do take a job, could you let me know what a ‘Student Affinty Network’ actually is please? I’ve been trying to figure that out for a while now...
