Progression and pay needs serious improvement

Assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good, above average benefits and holiday allowance

Cons

As said in the other reviews, progression is pretty much non-existent here, aside from a select lucky few. This is especially true with Assistants. The company will happily keep assistants on for years on low pay with no progression in sight, even if they are doing the work of an Executive and holding up a team of Managers. This felt very demotivating and unfair and should seriously be looked into and improved

Great place to work

Business development editorial

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a good place to work with a supportive and friendly culture and there's an emphasis placed on employee wellbeing

Cons

There's not much room for progression as most senior members of staff have been there for a long time. It's really difficult to get promoted and also means the company can be a bit insular.

An ideal place to work, if you're an "aye" sayer

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Process-centric, data-driven, calibrated work up to middle management levels

Cons

VPs take away all their team's credits to themselves; either fall in line with SMG or you'll certainly be ousted; anything you say or do WILL be used against you when things turn unfavourable. Precedences are set almost instantly and it is truly difficult to break out of these precedences - as in, once a mistake is made (consciously or inadvertently), expect penalisation, unless of course you "please" your HoD. "Please" - nothing dramatic here, just saying yes, NOT give better ideas than your HoDs, smile when you're shit-smeared (within closed doors, but in front of your subordinates or peers), grin when your appraisal is turned upside down due to 1 (one) mistake....the list is just starting!!
