Pros

Pay is decent but not worth the depression inducing work

Cons

Awful awful people in all areas of the business in the Bracknell office. Bullying, discrimination, over all nasty pieces of work. During my time there I don't think I saw one piece of work actually executed and live in a store - what on earth do these people do all day and how is CBG even making a profitable business is beyond me. No support from management, roles and responsibilities changed on a whim multiple times. Multiple restructures. Mental health the lowest it's ever been from the first week in the business until I left, if you value your time and mental wellbeing don't even bother applying to work here.
