Pros

You get to work from home - but the fact you are made to feel so small means that what was once your safe space (home) is now a place of stress and dread.

Cons

This has been without a doubt the WORST job I have ever had in my entire life. The people in management here should be ashamed of how they treat the staff. They are the number one reason why the company is going to continue to have these issues until nobody wants to work there. It's disheartening to witness a consistent pattern of management incompetence, resulting in unattainable deadlines and subsequent berating of employees for failing to meet them. I started to lose sleep and would wake up every single day with extreme anxiety and stress wondering if I was going to be yelled at or belittled that day. I ended up having to see a psychologist because my mental health just spiralled out of control. They offer a free mental health app subscription as an employee and its probably because their staff members all need to have counselling due to their management team's actions. Management has poor communication, barking orders and leaving things to the last minute causing chaos in the teams to reach these unachievable deadlines. There's a notable absence of constructive feedback and support from higher-ups, leaving employees feeling undervalued and unsupported. Despite numerous complaints about certain team members, no action seems to be taken against the management team, fostering a toxic atmosphere. Moreover, the alarming rate of employee turnover is indicative of widespread dissatisfaction. The stress levels within the company are reaching unbearable levels due to the lack of proper systems and the relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of our well-being. If you are desperate to get a job, I would take a job at McDonalds over this. The pay is not worth the amount of stress and toxic people you encounter - avoid.

Pros

Fully remote work, great boss and team

Cons

The higher ups have no strategic direction and make terrible decisions which have impacted so many people causing massive rounds of redundancies. And their treatment of you during the process is impersonal and disgusting.

Pros

People supported each other because management certainly didn’t.

Cons

Easily one of the worst companies I’ve ever worked for. The culture is deeply toxic, bullying is normalised, and HR exists purely to protect management rather than employees. Complaints go nowhere, while the people responsible for creating hostile environments are rewarded and promoted. Leadership appears completely directionless and driven solely by profit at the expense of both staff and patients. There is no investment in employees, no accountability, and no long-term vision beyond squeezing as much work as possible out of fewer people. Management repeatedly pushes “operational efficiency” as an excuse for redundancies, but in reality the workload never disappears — it’s dumped onto the remaining staff until burnout becomes unavoidable. The company seems more interested in cutting costs than maintaining standards, leading to rushed, poor-quality work and impossible expectations. Employees are then blamed for the inevitable consequences of understaffing and unrealistic workloads. Experienced staff are pushed out and replaced with cheaper hires, creating constant instability and a revolving door culture. Morale is terrible, trust in leadership is nonexistent, and fear of retaliation stops many employees from speaking up. I would strongly discourage anyone considering working here unless they are prepared for an unhealthy, stressful, and unsupported environment.
