Pros

-Cool stock at a good price, staff discount on pieces -Lovely co-workers who made the office fun -Great entry level role to work within the industry

Cons

-Poorly managed/ lacking cohesive brand vision -Made us physically assist in moving offices - manually packing furniture with no insurance -Moved the office location with zero consideration of staff feeling making most employees commutes minimum 1 hour (yet just a 15 minute drive for most managers) -Stopped paying for heating to save money during the move and lied to staff about it -Often employed manager roles based on likeability rather than relevant skills -No bank holidays

Pros

This company has allowed me to grow within a short space of time. Senior management work alongside junior staff members and track your progress allowing progression in the business whenever available.

Cons

Still a small business so not always 9-5. You need to be willing to go above and beyond.

Pros

Only pro is the people who you meet who are nice in the company, which is not many.

Cons

horrible higher management, horrible HR. they would rather support and cover up toxic individuals in the company than care about their employees. Half of the higher management don’t know what they are doing and the jobs fell in their laps, inappropriate and not safe work space for women. shamed for saying no and having an opinion and bullied out of the company by narrow minded management.
