Pros

Some very nice but longsuffering people.

Cons

“A positive workplace culture leads to increased productivity, better employee morale and the ability to keep skilled workers. Negative attitudes in the workplace, particularly when they are displayed by management or the small business owner, can have a dramatic impact on the entire workforce. Taking the steps to ensure that a positive culture is present in the workplace will go a long way towards keeping your organisation running smoothly and keeping your employees happy.” Timely advice for a company so badly run that in my short employ 11 people left a workforce of less than 70. Would I recommend a career at Captec? Not if I was female, creative, resourceful, original, smart, of happy disposition, unable to deal with verbal abuse or being publicly humiliated. The propaganda supposedly promoting an amazing culture at this company is a joke.

HEED MY WARNING: Trust all the bad previous reviews and know that the good reviews are written by HR to soften the blow.  I’ve ignored them and paid the price Avoid working in the Marketing Department at all costs.  Anyone that has worked there that knew what they were doing and did any good to the department, either quit, or got driven out.  The Majority of management either doesn’t believe in marketing altogether ( been said by Interim Marketing manager, General Manager and CEO on separate occasions ) or doesn’t have a clue about how it works, yet they all have strong opinions on it.  CEO has a problem controlling himself and throws unprofessional tantrums with complete disregard to decency ( apologises after if confronted ) but keeps repeating.  - Not a place for growth- At least 2 years of no leadership in the marketing department. Everyone avoids the position or quits within a couple of months. - A company that “doesn’t believe Marketing works”- One man show by a CEO that micromanages EVERYTHING. - Invests near to nothing in their marketing department.The equipment provided are decades old, with a refusal to upgrade or improv.Personally paid out of my own pocket for well over a year for essential software  ( like Adobe and Stock Imagery websites ) and equipment. Mostly due to no leadership in my department and management lacking any initiative to invest in the department.
