Such potential with zero assistance for employees - Associate Buyer WHSmith Employee Review

Pros
They have finally started to move into the modern age by providing parental leave and hybrid work.
Cons
Everything is an emergency with competing priorities. There is little to no assistance with absolutely anything. Your workload grows each day, the company is growing at such a rapid pace that it can't be sustained and yet they don't want to hire any additional people to assist. The interview process takes up to four months, which is ridiculous, yet they say that they can't find talent. Severely underpaid for the amount of work you end up doing at all hours of the day, no respect for personal lives, and it's obvious by the turnover rate. They keep hiring consultants and bringing on or promoting high-level employees to even higher-level positions, most of which are rehired from years ago that worked at the company.
