Not heading in a great direction - Recensione dipendente - Anonymous Employee presso Blacks Visual

Some variation in work and some good people to work with.

- Hostile work environment where poor behaviour is disguised as a personality you have to learn to live with. Management sets the example on this. - Not much room for progression and the wage is only just competitive with minimum wage (at least the factory work is). No pay rise is based on merit. - Complete lack of communication between departments, leading to mistakes and chaos as everything is left until the last minute. - No recorded training which enables coasting behaviour, the people there to work have to pick up the slack. - Overtime isn't optional, and is often needed to make up for mistakes. - Senior management like to throw their weight around and add no real value as they don't take constructive feedback. - Some people could be extremely difficult to work with.

- the projects were really cool to work on - working away in London was fun

There is no management. I given the option to hand my notice in or get sacked. There reasoning for this was that my “work was not up to standard” when I had no light of this as no one had told me. The position that I applied for was a junior project manager. They told me that I needed no experience as they would provide me with all training. I was never told my work wasn’t good enough or that I was doing anything wrong. So I had no chance to improve. The factory people were awful and would come in and shout at people in the office, I witnessed people on the team being told to apologise and to get it over with because they are more important than you are.
