Poor management

Pros

The team is great and supportive with a fun office for those who engage in the social side (most Thursdays). The hybrid working model is also an added bonus. good experience and stepping stone for your next place of employment. Commission is pretty good too but is better elsewhere.

Cons

The management is poor. There is no real guidance nor any trust that goes up the chain. The endless changes make the day-day less favourable for employees and has hit morale due to the unnecessary changes being added making targets harder to hit. The 'corporate' mindset with a 'start up' body shows with endless turnover and a poor service retaining no clients. In my time, I saw countless firings with 3 managers coming and going in a short time period. There is 0 progression and nothing will change that. Empty promises and hiring from the outside show there commitment to this. Endless meetings when WFH will have you asking yourself why're you here to hear about 45-minutes of peoples weekends and then managers will ask why you haven't hit targets for the day.

Pros

The team, everyone thats been hired here is fantastic. They have created a very good culture among themselves that has led to socialising both in and out of work

Cons

The big question I've asked myself since leaving the business is, if I could turn back time, would I have accepted the job offer and the simple answer is no. The set up is very strange, the two co founders are very hands on which can feel like a perk but in all honesty is the complete opposite. Micromanaging is used as a sense of control with morning and evening check-ins taking place everyday of the week and all staff must be in the office 3 days a week (although the owner's favourites seems to be excluded from this). The business itself has done very little growth due to a poor product. Now this might be a strange thing to say due to the huge brands WMC has worked with. The issue is they churn, and this happens far more than is let on. When this does happen fingers are pointed rather than the founders (who run these departments) sitting down and actually trying to work out what's gone wrong. The company also prides itself on people never leaving the business but this is simply not true. They fire people left right and centre (I was not one) and those that do leave on their own accord will find that the business do all they can do not pay them what is due (Sales staff check you contract for a clause that allows them not to pay commission once a notice is handed in). My review is not to slam the company down, more to pass on the information I wish I'd had when my offer first came through. That way you have all the facts before deciding if this company matches the ambition you have to grow in your career. For me these ambitions couldn't have been any further apart.
