Pros

The people who work here are fantastic. I have made some terrific friends and great memories here due to the wonderful people in the Rotherham office.

Cons

Where to start! The hours. You will get zero reward for working longer hours. You will get zero recognition for going the extra mile. This is almost expected of you without question. You will have no breaks (not even to make a round of tea apparently?). Any extra time you dedicate will not be paid back to you in any way, shape or form. The pay. You will be told that the money will come with experience, and although this sounds reasonable, you will have to work to the point your hair falls out to be offered a pay rise of substance. People will leave and you will inherit their work for zero extra pay. The "perks". Within my role, I was offered a laptop to help work whilst travelling. However soon after I was told that if I don't start taking the work home with me, there's no point in having it. Sort of makes sense, however I was initially told it's to help with working trade shows abroad. Don't then threaten to take the laptop away because I'm not working 24/7. Other than this, there aren't really any perks. There's no bonuses, no commission for sales, you will receive the bare minimum holidays. The most you will get is a bag of food at Christmas. I have seen many people cry working here. I have had sleepless nights myself stressing about work. I have spoken to other employees who are depressed due to the workload and respect they have been given, and all the while the owners will look the other way.

Pros

Literally really nothing, this place was horrible and HONESTLY did, NORMALIZE crying while on the Job because of stress

Cons

I joined this company after recently graduating with a degree in Design from a prestigious university. RUN FOR THE HILLS! I “unfortunately ignored” the negative reviews for this company but THEY ARE COMPLETE FACT. I found myself crying in the BATHROOM OFTEN because I apparently “ didn’t take enough notes, didn’t listen well” these “managers” are legacy managers and defend each other over YOU PLEASE PLEASE AVOID! I don’t even post comments online but I do not want someone to experience what I did. P.s even though I was hired as Product Development Assistant, I was FORCED as a “new employee” to go and get food for the owner at lunch everyday so yeah you are a CEO secutaty also. Another “fun” time was when I was called from working to “get ring OF THE FLIES “ in the CEO office.. which resulted in me ACTUALLY HAVING to hang FLY STRIPS al over there! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!!!
