Pros

Pros are zero in that place. Pros are that everyone posting on this site seems to have similar experiences there and yet there's one random posting here saying there is a vendetta - what a laugh. That poster must be the owner or one of his flunkies that sniff similar potions together, otherwise why would there be so many other views that have opposing views to that one ? Not difficult to understand is it ? behaving like a decent person and see how the company might change and how the reviews on here will. Have put one star everywhere on here as can't post with putting no stars.

Cons

Office is smelly due to dead rats under the floor, and the owner smoking at his desk in the communal office. Under market wages which often are paid days or weeks late but owners find money to pay for their own social lives and the dog walker and his and her rents and mortgage while staff have to wonder when and if they can pay their own rent. If have a medical appointment and get in half an hour late loose a half days wages. Don't get paid at all if off work sick. Holidays are a nightmare to get the owners to agree to. Owners argue in the office in front of staff and speak to staff like slaves and idiots.

Pros

Can not think of a single thing

Cons

Boss, Tim is controlling and does not know what he is talking about. He spends most of his time and the company's money doing only God knows what and does not spend time listening to the suggestions of his employees.

Pros

Staff occasionally given gifts of jewellery for birthdays, leaving or special achievements. Staff are also offered to purchase newer season jewels at wholesale price. Whatever role you are in, you will be pushed and learn a lot, which in the current job market is valuable. When I was employed here, the biggest pro by far were my colleagues. Every department stuck together and helped each other through, even when under considerable pressure and against all odds. Friends for life. Now, the company has shrunk, so I am unsure if this is still the case.

Cons

On the surface, the company seems slick, professional and successful. Do not be fooled. Despite all efforts and advice from the staff, Management (or lack thereof) continuously make the same mistakes. Wages are the lowest they can possibly be. Interns taken on for a minimum of 3 months but given no money for travel or food. There are occasions where full wage not paid each month. No sick pay and holiday allocation a battle. No over-time paid or time in lieu given for evenings or weekends worked. Each staff member does the work of three, with most juggling 3 roles at a time with no support. High expectation from management, who barely works 4 hours a day, and uses intimidation and bullying, including borderline racist remarks, to back staff into a corner to get his way. If you refuse demands - you are named the "rotten apple". If you leave - you are named the "rotten apple". Essentially, 'the fault never lies with management'. If you read down through all the comments on this page everyone says the same, bar one.
