Toxic clique culture overshadows minimal benefits and pay
Pros
Some benefits like gym, pension scheme, cycle to work. Work life balance is a plus.
Cons
Very difficult environment if you are not part of the pre-existing social or family circles. You can feel managers dont get along well by constant gossiping and eye turning. If they see you talking to someone who they dont get along well they will ignore you for a while . The company culture is heavily divided into cliques, and lower leadership (managers, supervisors, team leaders ) only communicate effectively within their own circles. It creates an alienating atmosphere where hard work goes unnoticed while favoritism dictates who succeeds. Mediocrity is awarded as long as you are managers friend. Salary is usually minimum wage or just above minimum depending on a department. It goes up after 1 , 3 and 5 years by a small amount.
