You’ll make long lasting friends as there is trauma bonding

Unfortunately, my experience working at this company was overwhelmingly negative. From the beginning, it was clear that the management was disorganised and unsupportive. I often felt undervalued, with unrealistic targets being set and no proper training or guidance provided to help meet them. Despite being repeatedly told we were part of a “family business,” this couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that if they don’t like you, they’ll find a reason to get rid of you regardless of your performance or dedication. The only thing that made the experience bearable was the support and friendship of my colleagues. We were all in the same boat, and that sense of solidarity helped us through. However, as more and more of them started to leave many due to burnout, mental health struggles or micro management so it became harder and harder to stay. False promises from management were frequent, and the staff turnover was appalling. In the past two to three years alone, around 50 members of staff have left. Most don’t stay long once they begin to see the impact the environment has on their wellbeing. If you’re considering a role here, I would strongly advise you to think twice. For the sake of your mental health and overall wellbeing, it simply isn’t worth it.

- My manager was good, she really did try to keep us all happy even with the burden of having that CEO. - People were amazing, I agree with other reviewers who said good people there make you wanna stay, but they all end up leaving in less than a year, I only stayed because my manager was lovely, she kept a lot of us sane.

- CEO has put all her family in management positions, so don't expect to go far. - Has an addiction with wanting everyone to be a "brother" or "sister", but I think it's manipulation to allow her to railroad you publicly. - We used to hear the owner screaming constantly when she was in the conference room with her managers. - Huge staff turnover, loads of people come who are good then bolt when they are less than a month in; all have said it's down to the CEO. - Office is gross shoddy industrial unit in Southport and it's always noisy with the car mechanic next door! - You're reprimanded for wanting to work remotely, even if your role is purely online. Was forced into the office even though my contract said remote. - Agree with other reviews, owners brief changes at a moments whim and we are reprimanded if 2 days worth of work aren't refactored to support the dream she had last night. - Bizarre, and probably not tax safe, bonus scheme. God knows what happens in April when people who are allowed the bonuses get paid. - CEO trivializes anything ethical, it's like she wants us to work like cowboys when we're on the phone with prospects
