Pros

Free tea and coffee if you can even call it 'tea' and 'coffee' as it's vile (couldn't possible be trusted with a kettle!) A fridge on the floor to put your lunch in 9-5 working hours 1.5x pay for overtime Easy to get to location Next to good shops Free water & air Salary paid on time Big windows to stare out of when you're trying to forget that this is your life and how it got so bad you ended up here....

Cons

Managers who know nothing to little about the actual job of the people they're managing If your face doesn't fit, it doesn't matter how good you actually are at your job; you'll be overlooked for any positive feedback/progression Disposable attitude to staff; no attempt at staff engagement other than throwing a (little) bit of money at some organised 'fun' aimed at young people Overtime on permanently as they're don't hire enough people but constantly reiterate that they've done the maths and there's enough full time employees to cover the work Atmosphere of dislike from management to their teams and overly obvious false pleasantries Management talk about each other to each other in ear shot of staff Management talk about staff members in a derogatory fashion when they're not there, in earshot of other staff Nothing is ever confidential- gossipy environment Spanish Inquisition style tactics if you call in sick or are unable to attend due to a family member's illness None sense 'brand beliefs' that don't translate into anything tangible and if you do try to demonstrate some thing; they're not interested Air conditioning is crap; you'll be lucky to sit in a chair where you're not either permanently freezing or too hot No cohesion between departments/sites Over use of buzz words No real training of any value given Old fashioned management style- treated like children despite age/experience/ etc Staff aren't trusted Bonus is minimal and decided by ever shifting goal posts for measuring 'personal performance ' Too many 'improvement initiatives' that are nonsense pr don't address root of problems Too many box ticking exercises

Pros

Good location as adjacent to shopping centre with discounts. luas line access modern offices on two floors.

Cons

very set in their ways. focused purely on bottom line and npt on employees. canteen is limited so shopping centre is the only option. no microwaves. long hours due to pointless tasks with no real benefit. lip service as to improvements

Pros

Relaxed dress code and Flexible working hours

Cons

Management don't care about staff and have old fashion views, you have to look and sound "right" rather than being good at the job to get ahead. Benefits cut for staff Workloads placed on people at the bottom too high and too many middle managers not earning their wage. Poor wages and reviews in to them showed role was undervalued for both the company and the wider industry but management made little effort to rectify and constantly delayed a decision. Job insecurity is high due to numerous redundancies and company getting planning permission for office "just in case”. Any staff remotely good at their job moves on after a few years due to lack of progression.
