Pros

You get to work with a wide range of clients and the people there are good fun.

Cons

Very high turnover of staff, management are not very good people managers (more of a dictatorship). They could do with bringing in experienced management staff. No real benefits, statutory sick pay as well

Pros

2pm Friday finish but you'll be so burnt out from the weeks work and dismal office enviroment/bullying that you'll spend this time exhausted or partaking in the rampant office alcohol culture which is concerningly normalised and encouraged

Cons

- family run business who makes their own family problems everyone else's business by having intense and heated arguments infront of staff which leaves everybody feeling incredibly awkward and juvenile - the office is covered in dog hair, dog waste and general grime. women's toilets are often clogged leaving them to queue for toliet and leaving a nasty smell. the whole office is falling apart, constantly freezing even in summer and covered in a thick layer of grime on every surface. it is not the preppy environment they try to give off on their socials. it is falling apart. - management does not know how to lead or how to be respectful to staff. they will talk about you behind your back (which unfortunately always comes back to you as they are often telling each others secrets when they have family arguments) - Low pay, no opportunities for pay increases unless the government raises the minimum wage - director constantly berating staff for his own companies lack of sales despite never listening to constructive criticism or willing to hear any feedback

Pros

You will work on many accounts to gain good experience, and will likely end up trauma bonded for life with your colleagues

Cons

Toxic family-run culture runs deep at fatBuzz. They have never, and will never care about any employees over the White family. Blame culture is high and they will expect you to do anything (morally or professionally right or wrong) to please clients. Workload and experience will not match the salary given. The MD has no respect for his staff and frequently talks about how incompetent they are (when he can pay attention to them long enough to even remember their names) He will always think he knows more about marketing than those he pays below minimum wage to. He doesn't. Don't waste your time here, go get a fairly paid job from an employer who respects staff and treats them well.
