Pros

Good colleagues, nice area but other than that not much more.

Cons

The business lacks any real structure or defined processes, which results in inconsistency, inefficiency, and confusion across teams. It is increasingly operating like a call centre, without the necessary management support, procedural framework, or strategic oversight required to sustain performance or staff wellbeing. Employees are underpaid for the level of work expected, with no formal pay review process or clear path for progression. Earning potential is limited, yet targets are continually raised without providing the tools, support, or infrastructure to achieve them. Internally, there’s no standardisation in sales etiquette or client handling, leading to inconsistency and disjointed service delivery. Meanwhile, internal messaging is overly focused on business success and ambitious growth targets—particularly the push for "double-digit" growth: while failing to acknowledge or invest in the wellbeing of the people expected to deliver those results. There’s a growing disconnect between leadership ambition and frontline reality, which is contributing to low morale, high frustration, and a sense that staff are undervalued.

I believe we do 'practice what we preach' so I would love to hear more about what makes you feel this way about your role. I can see you are a currently colleague and have been with us for over 3 years so please reach out to your HR Business Partner as wouldn't want anyone feeling this way about their role.

As much as I love receiving your 5* review, unfortunately I think you have posted on the wrong company. We are not based in Houston. Michelle - People Director

Pros

Company provides great benefits such as medical, retirement, and paid time off. (Based on years of experience)

Cons

Unfortunately, the company does not provide growth opportunity or promotion. Very flat environment. Poor ethics and professionalism. Systems are antiquated.

I believe you have put your review on the wrong company as we are not based in Texas, we are in the UK. Would you mind removing this from Citation and adding to the correct company so they can review your feedback? Michelle – People Director
