Pros
Worked in Myprotein - - Global business which helps you to understand how an MNC and Global brand works. - Amidst all the toxicity and negativity, you get to learn about how an Ecommerce brand works, packaging, branding, etc - People move on quickly from THG but they end up going to nicer businesses and helps to have connections. - Good on your CV to be working in a toxic machine to show prospective employers that you are built for the tough stuff
Cons
So much that this box would not fit - - Toxic work culture and quite a lot of negativity across departments. - Heavy bureaucratic setup across departments which means, you are bound by deadlines but others dont support you in reaching them. You are always running around in circles trying to get things resolved or delivered. - HR is of no use and help, they are least sympathetic, act like they care but they dont and are there to stress you out more than anything else. - You are learning but there's no direction in it, you are trying to find your feet but also expected to do it on your own without any direction. - Performance review meetings and line management is absolutely terrible. Many line managers who dont know how to line manage or provide constructive feedback. - 5 days a week in the middle of nowhere is the worst cherry on top of the worst cake. - You constantly hear of the company going bust and no matter how hard you work, it isnt enough as the profits dont seem to helping the MoM growth anyway. - No scope for creativity or implementing new ideas. Everyones just accustomed to ways that they want to drive and any new idea means running in circles to have it shut down immediately. - Silent layoffs or constant turnover.
