Just a really horrible place to work

Pros

There was a culture of dishonesty and stealing there and people would mess about with your desk and computer. It's probably still going on. The atmosphere was a bit stuffy at times and tense. A lot of people were wanting to leave. I was glad I got out with my sanity intact. The managers don't really know how to lead they like to chastise without you knowing why maybe they had an axe to grind some of it was just so petty.

Cons

Bit of a bully culture and staff could be unreasonable those in control on a power trip The companies products you think they're okay but they look like Swiss cheese on the back end. The problem is they don't treat their employees very nice and some of the employees are thieves and try force people out

Pros

I sort of liked how the open plan office allowed you to see who was at their desk, but it became horrible like big brother watching and people using it against you.

Cons

The database is full of errors and the staff are judgemental. They want to pick faults wherever they can and it becomes impossible to do your job properly. I just stick it out now because I need the money but im looking for new opportunities.
