- Unclear from the outset regarding benefits. On Interview told 6-month probation and then you can work from home. In reality it’s after your 6th full month - so even if you start on the 2nd you have to work 7 months before receiving benefits.
- Lack of flexibility regarding work from home, personal appointments. Grandparent dies, ‘sorry you can’t take bereavement leave’. Have a hospital appointment on a ‘together Tuesday’. Sorry since you can’t work from home you have to book annual leave
- You are micromanaged to a level I have never experienced before.
- There is one rule for management and one for everyone else. You have to apply to be fully remote and this is denied despite meeting the criteria outlined in the (very hidden) employee handbook unless you are a director
- Payrises this year were below inflation resulting in a real terms pay cut. This is despite the fact that I received an exceptional annual review.
- No support in a managing workload. In fact you are punished for raising issues and taken off/given more studies as a punishment
- Expected to work over contracted hours pretty much every day
- aCTM training is a shambles. You spend your first month watching dull power points and when you ask for help you are told to work it out.
- Breakfast and Learn neither has breakfast or learning. Used as a torture session to bully associates and dangle promotion as a reward
- Promotions are not consistent
-CEO must approve all decisions which results in lack of clarity and promotions being denied or agreed based on feelings or whether a senior director likes you or not
- When issues are raised they are blamed on your lack of ability to handle the workload or that you are not suited to the role. This is despite multiple complaints from different people
- The maternity leave policy is shocking, and is reflective on how little the company cares about its staff. This actively discouraged those from having families and the lack of flexibility for working parents is disgusting.
- The whole company is toxic. I don’t know anyone who isn’t looking to leave in the immediate future. Those who stay are tied in by the non-compete and three month notice period
