Pros

The people, minus the management staff were what made it worth doing

Management don’t manage Pay is poor No direction CEO will probably liquidate the business and start again in a few months time, he’s done it before … multiple times

Pros

The non-management staff generally have a comradery, as they have to look out for each other & protect each other against nasty treatment from the Directors. No other positives, whatsoever!

Cons

No positive one-to-ones, even when you exceed targets. No decent commission - in fact if you bring in big deals, they'll find a way to not pay you anything. Cheap rebadged Chinese products that have a high fail rate (despite the claims of the CEO) - I used to dread calling customers after installation as I knew there would be problems to deal with. They don't care about customers & care even less about their staff. Pay is below industry standard. What they agree to pay at job offer stage is often renegotiated after you start. No sick pay. Midnight emails that stress you out & stop you sleeping. Constant barrage of emails and calls to tell you you're a failure & jobs will be lost unless sales improve (it can't be all the staff's fault, maybe you should look at yourselves). Things said confidentially in reviews, repeated in public in front of all the staff. Inadequate training on new products. Constant changes to the product portfolio - for a long time we were demonstrating one product to customers & delivering a completely different product. Their idea of treating their staff was to buy some samosas, or give 2 drinks vouchers at their Christmas party. Callous leaders - when I said a member of family was dying & I may need time off, their first words were to warn me that I wouldn't be paid for time off, not they they were sorry to hear that. The list could go on & on, but the biggest negative is the nasty spitefulness, rudeness and dishonesty of the Directors, they have no idea about man-management! I've had two or three really bad bosses in my time, but the couple who run Genee World and Interactive Education are by far the worst I can imagine. Do not join this company, the bosses are despicable examples of human beings.

Pros

I took nothing positive from my time there other than understanding bad employers and how to deal with them.

Cons

Had to report them for not paying staff on time. The Director would degrade young women in the work place. Would set KPIs as unachievable to ensure he would extend probation. Would not provide support for employees who suffered from dyslexia or autism. There's much more I can state, I would never suggest working for them.
