Pros

I just want to look at reviews of a prospective employer. It won't let me see them without leaving a review.

Cons

Seriously, why are you making me do all this just to look at the reviews? I'm not leaving a review for my current employer because they don't know I'm looking for work and it'll be easy for them to ID me if they see it. Thomsons was my employer before that but it was 10 years ago so a review of them is pointless.

Pros

Very hard to chose one, but I’d say the office staff located in head office.

Cons

Where do I start? So just to give a little background to this company. Thomson local actually went into administration back in 2013- it was then brought out and re launched. Thinking that this company had learnt from its boiler room sales tactics I decided to join in a hope I would be part of a foward thinking, innovative company. The business is now being run on a day to day basis by someone with a very warped idea of what management, and long term success looks like. There is one philosophy when it comes to management at TL and thats micro management, the company is built on high- volume sales, but without the support. From a business POV The sales model can be very easily manipulated, with sales orders being loaded, only to be cancelled a few weeks later but not effecting the bottom line, and favouritisms being made to certain people. I have no doubt the owner will eventually realasie that he’s being made to look the fool.. If you want to work for a company that supports its employees then DO NOT work here. I took the leap thinking I would be supported in building a career but it’s clear the company want quick success and immediate sales but without the support.
