STAY FAR FAR AWAY - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso 1st Formations

Honestly, everything. Here's a small list: - Outdated practices - Your arrival and departure times are monitored, you basically clock in and clock out - You need to request permission to go outside for a few minutes for fresh air - You're watched as you walk away from your desk to go to the toilet so they can make sure that's where you're actually going - Major gas-lighting tactics from leadership/management - You're constantly reminded that you're "paid well", but at what cost? - Progression depends on how much leadership like you, not merit - I witnessed people who knew absolutely nothing get promoted to director level - the same people who used to come out of management meetings crying. Hands down the most toxic place I've ever worked. Genuinely, looking back at my time here, it feels like it was a cult, not a workplace. I wish I knew better and took them to tribunals. But, maybe that's what they bank on? In short - a horrible, toxic, cliquey, discriminatory, manipulative and belittling culture with no trust in staff. Advice: If you're going into your first office based / corporate role, I'd suggest staying as far away from this place as you possibly can. You will learn absolutely nothing of value. Any of the good experiences posted on here are likely from staff that are given preferential treatment from leadership and are comfortable in their roles. Plus, they've requested their staff to leave reviews for them. To 1st Formations: Please don't bother replying to this with your wishy washy generic response that I've seen you use on all other negative reviews.
