Delusional - Sales Victoria Beckham Employee Review

Honestly I find the positive reviews delusional. Each department is its own little clique and that’s explains VB perfectly. It is all cliques, drama, gossip and all very much groups and who you know and how long you’ve been there. People are not friendly unless they need or want something from you and half the time you’re drowning in work because someone decided to leave or quit. The turnover is high and I assume it’s down to salary and the people itself. Granted there are a few nice people but it also means across 2 floors you’re dealing with people who think they’re so above basic human interaction or manners. The upper management aren’t nice whatsoever. The staff I encountered were miserable and just complained about working and the tasks/VB, the lack of an actual eating space. I absolutely hated my time here, the team I was in was difficult to say the least and one person ruined my whole experience and time. It’s very much based on who can “fit in” and just get on with it as opposed to actual skills and experience. When expressing to a manager about issues with a colleague it got met with me being told to deal with it or leave. This was in my second week. The weeks to come were met with me being constantly berated, belittled and spoken about like high school in an open space area. The work culture is extremely toxic, unless you want to go home with stress from people you work with and a job you end up hating, don’t bother. There is no help and I’m sure HR will comment about protecting mental health when HR is there to protect a company and not its workers. My time at VB was hostile, uncomfortable and met with horrible people who get paid to belittle people who actually want a life outside work or people who don’t automatically fit in to their group. I didn’t find anyone being nice or helpful or even wanting to try and train or actively teach. It was very much here is your role, teach yourself and good luck. I urge people not to take this job as the salary won’t match the mental health trauma you acquire.
