Pros
- I really cannot think of any as the experience after tupeing over from EE was horrendous. It was like working for the Mercedes F1 team and then being moved to work on Reliant Robins.
Cons
- Senior Management in the team I worked in had no people management skills and were focused solely on cutting costs; - Don't be too good at your job. You'll end up having loads piled onto you, working 100 hour weeks and over your holidays whilst others coast and management could not care about your H&S or mental wellbeing; - Don't publicly question or cross managers as they become vindictive and will target and bully you; - Communciation for a communication company is woefully poor; - Concerns raised via Yor Say are completely ignored. Managers ignored major issues raised by the teams relating to their behaviour and never fully discussed these in team meetings; - People tupe'd over from EE immediately lost yearly bonuses of over £10k; - Cost Centre manager had no idea of budgeting or setting realisitic budgets. Always pressured to reduce costs, not look at ways of increasing revenue; - EE was generating over 25% EBITDA when purchased by EE. First action taken was to cut costs, put pressure on management, take away decicion making and start to stangle what would be a cash cow; - Managers scared of making decisions, or will pass the decicion to you. If a wrong decision, then you are questioned and hung out to dry; - Allegations of nepotism when recruiting; - Company has over 100% gearing when you factor in pension liabilities and debt. Unmanageable and profit goes to service this (and pay shareholders) and not progress the company; - Objectives given to you are unachievable and unrealisitic, therefore easy to with-hold any bonus payments.
