No leadership

Pros

Casual work place and often left be to carry out work - not too advantageous when given insufficient training initially.

Cons

I think the staff turnover talks volumes, the business has no leadership and management does not play to individuals strengths or skill sets. Internal meetings were often presented as an opportunity for everyone to share ideas and develop best practise but in reality the only ideas ever taken on board were those that came from the top and so the business remained static. It is not an environment where you can openly speak your mind without criticism. The pay is always the lowest they can get away with paying and training is minimal.

Pros

- Laid back atmosphere with radio on - Friendly colleagues

Cons

- Management - Constantly stared at and talked about to make sure you’re doing something - Constant meetings between management and you can hear them talking about you in the meeting room since they’re so loud - Too much expected of the very little staff that are available - Staff turnover. 8 people left in 8 months (says alot) - ALWAYS expected to do overtime, as if you’re not allowed to have a life outside of work

Pros

An insight into a magazine subscription company.

Cons

A huge range of tasks to do - the amount of work and responsibility given did not match the salary. New business plans brought into place on a regular basis. Often these plans were not well thought out, and staff were fired when they became surplus to requirements. No consideration given to the effect this would have on the staff who found themselves out of a job. Long standing members of staff (across all areas of the business) who had great experience were often not listened to or shown respect.
