Northern and Shell reviews

Do not expect to get a pay rise, luxuries like tea or coffee and, in the London office, prepare to see mice running about. The management team, led by the notorious proprietor, are a small, sneering boys club and best avoided.

I've been working here for 1 year and I've been completely mis-sold in the interview about various things, most of all bonus / commissions. While they used to offer generous payouts in previous years, sadly its all gone now. Everyone is micromanaged on time, performance & meetings, etc. which is absolutely ridiculous, like the MD wanting to know why you've come back so late from a client meeting! There's been redundancies,throughout the company even though they've turned a huge profit in 2013 - £37 million and sold their tv network for £450 million - staff has had pay freezes for the last 5 years while senior managers all collected big bonuses, in excess of £1.5 million each!! According to an article on the Guardian's website, the owner is the greediest billionaire in Britain!
