Pros
If you make the bosses lunch every day and go round their house for dinner and have a personal friendly relationship with her then you can get promotions without applying or interviewing. You just get given high profile roles at the expense of your team because you forged a special relationship, which is great if you’re good at having a crony mentality.
Cons
The company is totally unfair, biased and uses rampant favouritism without a care for treating people fairly. Not to mention their expertise in holding a grudge and pursuing a vendetta which of course leads to forcing people out that dare to have a voice. Believe me, this workplace is NOT a safe space. There were allegations made against one member of staff of extremely poor acts and those acts were promptly swept under the carpet by the director because it revealed an uncomfortable truth on the director’s own integrity and meant having to make a stand. The company is rife with bullying and bad management and overhauling the directors and management is the only way to fix the rot. The favourite(s), tend to just get all the perks of the job, work from home, free lunches, visits abroad, expenses claimed, travel paid for, extra overtime and then the rest of the staff get told off for talking at the printers or told off for asking your neighbour how their weekend was or taking 5 minutes over a lunch hour. Now we all have to go in 3 times a week as part of the post covid scheme while the cherished favourite (s) sits on the sofa working from home five days of the week, faking phone calls and not even making an appearance into the office. It’s actually a disgrace how that firm is run. It’s a soul destroying, inconsiderate, selfish place to work. There’s more that could be said but all can be said to potential candidates is AVOID. The company should be WFH now that Covid is over. The worst issues are the rampant favouritism and the toxic environment where the director picks and chooses who they wish to prop up. Awful firm.
