- Not a lot of progression, assistants are kept at assistant level and made to feel not good enough despite being asked to do more than the job description asks for.
- Don't expect a raise or any increase in salary- they expect you to go above and beyond for the bare minimum
- 'HR' is non existent and consists of one of the owners of the company which is a HUGE conflict of interest - don't offer any support or discretion .
-Staff are expected to sit in an office that has no personality and is bare and depressing.
-No space to each lunch or have a break away from your desk or a private conversation.
-Staff morale is heavily discouraged so the office space is quiet and there's no sense of a 'team'.
-Owners have very outdated and toxic views
-Management in certain departments can be very controlling which creates a toxic environment. A big issue with 'micromanagement' and a lack of trust between manager and its team.
- No work life balance- expect you work over time for free and don't trust staff to work from home / hybrid work
- Different rules for different departments / people. Some people can work 'flexi time' but others cant with no explanation as to why which causes an unfair balance in the company.
-Forced to use holidays for GP appointments despite showing relevant evidence and giving enough notice.
