Pros

basic salary is good and nice coffee

Cons

My experience at La Fosse was disappointing. Clear favouritism, they don't give you a chance, and unmet promises created a cutthroat environment, with little to no job stability. This is especially troubling given the current economic climate. High employee turnover speaks volumes about the toxic culture. One of the most glaring issues was the significant disparity in how ethnic minorities employees were treated compared to their white counterparts. This inequity was not subtle—it was obvious. There is clear contradiction in management and amongst senior leaders – there is no unity. As Sun Tzu once said, “When there is no unity, there is no stability; when there is no stability, there is no victory.” When there is no unity, that causes chaos. This lack of alignment among leadership has created an environment of confusion, uncertainty, and instability, ultimately impacting both the organizational culture and employee morale. If you’re looking for stability and a supportive workplace, I’d strongly advise steering clear of this company. However, if you’re comfortable navigating favouritism and unequal treatment, this might be the place for you mate!

Pros

Really supportive culture - if you have an idea for something internally or want to change directions within the company they'll support you to do so. Worth noting that they're really supportive outside of work too if ever people are having personal difficulties. Culture is big on the agenda, but comes down to rewarding people for their work, supporting ambition, and generally being a nice place to work with nice people. Just got back from our company ski trip where they sent 130 of us to the slopes for a couple of days which was a great chance to bond with people from other teams etc. which always gets a bit harder as the company grows. The role can be hard at times - it's recruitment after all, but the commission scheme rewards good work, and the company recognises those going through trickier times and will offer additional training and support where they can - but asks for a good work ethic in return. Fantastic management at the top - really clued in to the business, and really open. The MD sits on the floor in an open-desk environment and will genuinely make the time for you and listen if you need it.

Cons

Company grew really quickly last year and with that there will always be changes which people need to adapt to. Having said that, all teething problems are are always addressed and rectified.
