- 'Call-out' culture is pervasive. Colleagues will actively seek to find any excuse to target you. If you make a mistake, it'll be shouted and gossiped about in the middle of the office before you even know you've made it.
- Extremely high-pressure and under-resourcing. Each person is doing the job of about 2-3 people
- Poor management. Account leads are distant, relying on gossip and rumours to provide feedback (rather than talking to their employees honestly and directly).
- Mental and physical health and disabilities are trodden all over and conveniently ignored. Reasonable adjustments are seen as a last resort, after you've already taken mounds of abuse and been the subject of office gossip for weeks.
- Homophobic and Transphobic sentimentality allowed to run riot amongst staff. LGBT+ employees left to fend for themselves when dealing with challenging situations, with no support from management.
- Salary is extremely low for the amount of responsibility and crap you've got to put up with
- No work/life balance. If you try to leave at your contracted leaving time each day, people will gossip about you for leaving early and you'll be frowned upon - but equally if you stay late nobody appreciates it.
- Preaches a good culture to recruit you, but forgets that as soon as they've got you on salary.
