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
