Youlend reviews about "hour"

Long hours, toxic styles of management, unrealistic expectations from leadership.

• I frequently felt pressured to work long hours, impacting my work-life balance • Opportunites for promotion were extremely limited, and there was little to no professional advancement • Pay was below market average for my role and experience • Micromanagement was prevalent • The work itself was very repetitive and lacked variety, making it difficult to stay engaged While I valued my team members and some of the benefits, the negative aspects of my experience, particularly management, low pay, and limited growth opportunities, significantly outweighed the positives. I would caution potential candidates to carefully consider these factors before accepting a position here

-MICROMANAGEMENT +++. every minute of every day scrutinised. - Senior management completely lost and very salty. Gave in my notice only to be dismissed immediately after sitting in the end of quarter meeting. What is the point of that? -Scam small business owners(loan sharks). Proved by the fact that senior management encouraged us to get our friends and family to leave positive reviews for £5 a review. at least 80 calls a day. Toilet breaks scrutinised to the minute - Senior sales management are clueless. Forced power hours and long hours expected. This is not investment banking but a call centre

Long hours and over worked

1. Salaries are low for assistant roles e.g sales assistants, office assistants, hr assistants, finance assistants, collections etc, considering these are core roles and the company would struggle to run without them. 2. It does feel like a boys club” at YouLend. There are more males than females, which is not a problem, just that there seems to be a common theme of men being promoted over women (qualified for the job or not). As of date there are about 3/4 female heads of department. There is not a lot of females in the company anyways none in tech or IT, one in finance and a few in sales. 3. Company has a high turnover, mainly females. 4. Can be quite cliquey, childish and petty - this could be due to it being a young company 5. slow progression 6. Coffee isn’t great 7. People management isn’t great - there are a lot of managers who are lovely people and hard workers but just aren’t good managers, ready to be managers or need training to be managers. 7. Bonus - not given a percentage, not sure how this is calculated. Seems like everyone gets different amount and at different times. Some get a bonus every 3 months and others once a year. Should be consistent throughout the company. 8. Working hours are 9-6pm which is very long (unless you’re used to this). Renumeration does not match this (well for the “assistant” level roles anyways. 9. Can be unprofessional at times. CEO’s swearing in inductions to new starters. Not the worst but foul language isn’t for everyone. People bad mouthing other people out loud - not to say everyone doesn’t talk about each other but it should be done in a private conversation not for people (who are not a part of the conversation) to hear. 10. Very high turnover 11. They undervalue their core teams e.g HR assistants, office assistants, if you’re in an assistants role you’ll be undervalued and underpaid. 12. Very challenging and demanding. Have to be made of strong stuff to work here. 12. Managers speak in Danish all the time

Not well organized. You are overworked and mentally and physically drained. Zero work-life balance. You get handed a workload you can't handle and are expected to have it all done before leaving for the day, causing you to stay late nights, work through lunch, and come in early in the mornings. There would be times the whole team would work 12 hours with zero breaks and no one seemed to have an issue with it. There is a lot of favoritism, and if you don't fit in with a certain group, they make it very obvious. Provide barely any training. Expect you to stay late nights, and if you say you have plans, they ask what plans you have. I don't think you need to explain what you are doing after work hours. Overall, the people you work with were nice and fun to be around.

-long hours, not great work-life balance, not great growth paths

- managers are all scared of senior management and cannot make their own decisions. - HR is not independent and will side with anything the manager says - workforce consists of students who have never had real jobs so they work unlimited hours, get treated like crap and think this is the norm - promotions are seemingly made on how you look rather than your skillset - being a strong character is frowned upon as your seniors are winging it and do not like to be challenged

Long working hours, startup environment with typical drawbacks
