Pros

Get to drive brand new company car if you’re eligible for it. Flexible work life balance.

Cons

Remuneration is average, below market if anything. Internal politics and management is chaotic. No internal alignment, strategy or culture. Poor performance is rewarded with a promotion.

The Toxic work culture of an old school company

Pros

If you consider leadership to be about aggressive behavior and outdated management tactics , this place is for you.

Cons

This company fails to value merit and expertise. The work culture is outdated and, frankly, stuck in the 60s. There is little regard for competence, as many managers are in positions they clearly aren’t qualified for, leading to inefficiency and stagnation. Worse still, the environment is often hostile, marked by aggression, shouting, and unprofessional behavior, particularly toward those who try to offer solution. The pervasive sexism and disregard for merit only contribute to the growing dysfunction. Most managers could be replaced by anyone with a suit. Their positions are more about appearance and connections than actual qualifications. They also heavily rely on external consultants to explain their own processes. This toxic culture not only prevents talent but also explains much of the company's current struggles and decline.

Pros

Fast Hiring. OK pay for part-time. Will work with you when hiring.

Cons

No career advancement. No loyalty. Sees employees as a rescourse more than people. Management plays favorites. Once hired, will change your schedule when they see fit. Doesn't like when employees take about their pay. Doesn't even know what they are paying some of their employees.
