      Shocking Company. - Associate Recruitment Consultant Hays Employee Review

      Pros

      Well known company with a supposed good reputation and some good training available. About it really just don't hold your breath.

      Cons

      The MDs treat staff as easily disposable, when it comes to promotion time they will pull you to one side and suggest you leave the company otherwise they will sack you. Targets are unrealistic, and they expect you to work longer hours than the 45-50 hour weeks you already work. A real chauvinistic/bullying atmosphere within the office as well. If you are "successful" they are prepared to overlook everything else.
