This is a great place if you never want to go anywhere near it. - Graphic Designer Reads Design & Print Employee Review

Salary above the average (only reason people stay there)

Even before interviewing, I was warned by colleagues that this was not a good place to work. I checked recent reviews here, which were positive, and decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake, and I now feel obligated to share my experience to help others make an informed decision. Key issues I experienced include: ● Lack of ongoing support from management after training. ● Unprofessional communication, including raised voices and aggressive tone. ● Feedback often delivered in a belittling and discouraging manner. ● A workplace culture that undermined confidence rather than supporting development. ● High-stress environment with unrealistic expectations for new employees. It is also worth noting that, based on my observations, the positive online reviews, particularly on Google, appear to be influenced by the regular intake of student interns, who are encouraged to leave positive reviews. There is a high turnover of interns (new intakes every few weeks), which may not accurately reflect the day-to-day experience of permanent staff. Overall, this was a toxic and unsupportive environment that did not align with the positive image suggested by recent reviews.

I've been working at Reads for a year and I'm very happy, the atmosphere is great, and the salary is too.

There's a lot of work to do in December
