Pros

Strong relationships within an office between people going through the same mess. The company name is good on your resume if working in the industry The share price has dropped so low we may get brought out in the 12 months and abandon our reckless retail approach that very few employees when speaking confidentially believe in.

Cons

Micro management to an extreme level Company prefer robots to high performers Very much their way or the high way no room for innovation Senior management tend to have there favourites if you are not one of these progression extremely difficult Don't listen or communicate between levels of management constant mixed messages Poor Pay Long Hours (expected to do 3/4 Saturdays no days in lieu Only half hour lunch allowed when working from 8:45-6 and often later as overtime is expected but not paid. Promises broken when comes to progression on a regular basis and demotions a norm Shouting seems to be the answer if anything is going wrong Shocking staff turnover each meeting having worked in both sales and lettings is just a room packed with new starters
