A Company Where Employees Don’t Matter

Pros

Discount for the hugely overpriced items they sell

Cons

This company is a mess from the top down. Leadership has no real strategy, no direction, and no interest in fixing the chaos they’ve created. Everything feels disorganised, inconsistent, and poorly managed. The culture is toxic. People leave constantly with zero transparency, and it’s obvious employees are treated as disposable. There’s almost no investment in training, development, or support, and staff are left feeling undervalued and ignored. Overall, it’s an unstable, demoralising place to work with leadership that simply doesn’t care.
