Pros

Some employees are VERY talented & my line manager was one of the nicest people I have ever met.

Cons

Working at Killstar was a challenging and often frustrating experience. Concerns about senior management practices and treatment of staff, including issues raised multiple times with HR, were frequently overlooked and left unaddressed. Despite the importance of fostering a team with strong e-commerce foundations, senior leadership displayed limited understanding or connection to the community Killstar serves. They seem to think of the alt community as a joke and made many crude comments about the community killstar serves and members of the team. There was a consistent lack of clear guidance, taking advantage of staffs kindness & manipulating them into doing jobs the head of department should have been doing, just resulted in a very toxic workplace. The worst I have experienced ever. Throughout my time at the company, there was also a noticeable absence of strategic direction as key leadership rarely presented any initiatives or plans. The resulting atmosphere, combined with HR’s minimal response to concerns about workplace well-being, was toxic. HR is awful, the lack of knowledge on how HR should operate is clear. They are running on a clear bias, managing the staff with no respect or resolve, unless your the SLT then whatever you say is 100% correct lol. Critical tasks often fell through due to ineffective leadership. This lack of engagement contributed to a drop in team morale and a work environment that felt disconnected, with minimal team-building or cultural cohesion. I have also never met a more odd unqualified absent CEO.

Pros

I was one of the lucky ones to have a great line manager who listened to me.

Cons

Made redundant for no good reason with my thoughts and opinions during the so called “consultation” period being completely ignored (funnily enough the director of the company on my consultation meetings didn’t even know what my role entailed). Absolutely no communication throughout my time there, felt like lots of people had great innovative ideas which were repeatedly taken to the CEO (Mika) and told no in favour of something much more basic.

Pros

I had great career progression until they made me redundant.

Cons

They made me redundant for a seemingly arbitrary reasons. They systemically undervalue their workforce The c suite is unfocussed and out of touch with the rest of the workforce
