Not my best experience

Pros

I don't see any pros....maybe the location/size of the office.

Cons

My time at popsugar UK was not the best. First off, I was underpaid. I was working 45 hours per week for a meager salary that barely covered my expenses. The daily tasks I was assigned were not consistent with my experience and the reasons I was hired in the first place. The management seems clueless with people who don't have a culture in fashion and Customer experience in that field. A lot needs to be done in regards of internal communications. The managers are not very professional or honest in their approach of employee's issues. Having interns doing full-time jobs (usually the interns are over age 24) and taking advantage of the 3months probationary period is the norm. In the way they handle the business, I'll only say, lying to clients is not an uncommon thing...

Pros

The foundation that the company was built upon.

Cons

Employees are pitted against one another. Gas-lighting and hypocritical language and behaviour is very prevalent. Employees are undervalued, overworked and reminded of their replaceability. Kindness and empathy are lacking. Hierarchical cliques create a close-minded, toxic culture that limits progression and collaboration.
