Pros
Worked on some great events, lovely and friendly team, good company perks, the role itself was enjoyable, editor was pleasant to work for, saw progression and exciting opportunities within the business
Cons
Malicious and calculated very unexpected dismissal due to restructure of the team (two weeks before 6 month probationary period end date) however no HR representative present during dismissal Dismissal took roughly 60 seconds, no meeting scheduled, no seat offered, and no thanks given for working extremely hard for the past six months Failure to consult on any improvement needed during probationary period, only praise was given Failure to consult that the team was being restructured and my role specifically in advance, allowing myself some time and ease No opportunity/referral given to move into a new role within the business after only positive feedback from Editor himself and other directors The company as a whole failed their duty of care for an employee Seedy emails between editor and cover employee who has now funnily enough replaced the role HR department terminated contract without confirming in person, terminated building access pass and computer log in details before allowing me to collect my belongings and schedule a formal HR meeting Company tramples over young enthusiastic hard-working employees to keep hierarchy happy Company and senior figures more concerned about saving money and hiring for cheap labour rather than hiring experienced well knowledgable members of staff
