Pros

there;s a decent coffee machine

Cons

- refusal to rehire and furlough recently departed staff during pandemic despite it costing them zero - no ethics: Overcharging customers secretly and condoning sales staff doing this - High pressure sales culture despite claims that customer service is at the core of everything - CCTV all round office facing desks - no qualms about representing Trump/Dorchester venues (owners with deadly human rights records) - Pressure you to sign a waiver that you will work more than the legal maximum number of hours - only 2 days sick pay - Cramped, very small desk spaces - Deliberate gameplaying over job security to suit them, climate of fear and rumour, HR left out of loop - Promotions/departures rarely announced, non-existent internal communication - Micromanaging from senior staff - Pressure to write positive glassdoor reviews because they realised bad ones aren't good for their image - v High staff churn - People who speak out on issues are seen as troublemakers - Nepotism, not promoting longstanding staff members and hiring mates from outside instead - Inability to support or recognise talent, hiring specialists and then not listening to them until they get frustrated and end up leaving - Supplier accounts go unpaid, causing embarrassment and straining relationships

Pros

Not bad office premises. Close to station. Well resourced. Good internet presence. Lots of venue visits with treats. Nice sized company. Fruit provided.

Cons

Superficial friendly vibe from management and director(s). High staff turnover. Expectation to work long hours. More stick than carrot. Compares to low paying industries to justify poor commission structure. Staff mainly non-grad first and second jobbers. Poor behaviour at times from both staff and management. Climate of fear and rumour at times. Staff accustomed to being shouted at. Often unrealistic targets. Recruitment from friendship circle of current employees preferred. 'The Office' moments.

Pros

Supportive management and great central London location, incentives and discounts available on a huge number of spa venues throughout the UK and Europe

Cons

No cons, as I wouldn't be working for them still if I had come across any
