Pros

This job allowed me to pay half of my rent each month.

Cons

- Business experiencing a period of stagnation, no growth whatsoever. 30+ employees have left in the past 2 years. - Dog eat dog mentality. Senior leadership leave more junior employees to fend for themselves and feed off scraps - Adulterous environment. Have a partner when you join the company? Not for much longer. Senior leadership pry on their team members, creating an awkward atmosphere for everyone else. - One of the directors (by title, not reputation) is a literal drug dealer - 0 diversity. I was left to feel isolated from the group as 99% of the company are white men. - I tried to microwave my pasta bake 5 minutes after lunch and got shouted at

Pros

My experience at Hartmann Young has been genuinely career-defining. Beyond the success and progression, what has stood out most is the encouragement to step outside of my comfort zone and build a profile within the industry. Through the support of the business, I've had the opportunity to become UK Sub-Chair for Women In Nutraceuticals, speak at international conferences, host industry events, grow my newsletter audience to thousands of subscribers, and launch my own podcast. Opportunities that, a few years ago, I wouldn't have imagined myself doing. Over the last year, I've experienced some significant personal challenges and life changes, and throughout it all I've been met with kindness, understanding, flexibility and support. The leadership team have always backed me professionally whilst giving me the space to navigate important moments in my personal life. The culture is ambitious and high-performing, but never at the expense of people. I've been trusted to build my market, develop meaningful industry relationships and create opportunities that have given me confidence not only as a recruiter, but as a professional. It's a business that genuinely wants its people to succeed and provides the platform to make that happen.

Cons

The expectations are high and success requires consistency, resilience and self-motivation. It isn't an environment for people looking to coast.

Pros

- There is a huge focus on learning and development with a very clear and realistic career plan in place which helps set personal targets and milestones. - There is really collaborative culture where everyone is encouraged to support one another to drive a high performing atmosphere. - Perks are amazing, monthly/ quarterly/ annually with trips abroad and 5 star days out for the top performers.

Cons

High expectations and ambitious growth plans do set a fast paced environment. I don't personally see it as a con as I want to be part of an team that wants to drive growth.
