Svantaggi
-The MD is the biggest con; See below -MD for the most part comes across affable and intelligent, but this is all a charade. Once cornered in one of his many lies he is manipulative, intimidating and blindly running away from issues as quickly as possible. -MD has at least one Employment Tribunal Judgement against him, for counts of Breach of Contract, Wrongful Dismissal, Wage Arrears and other infractions based on his unwillingness to co-operate with lawful proceedings. -MD candidly admits to hiring female colleagues based on attractiveness. -Wages were always late; No payslips were issued (even after request); issues with expenses left some employees out of pocket by hundreds of pounds; Inconsistencies between company statements and HM Revenue & Customs reports. -Nepotistic organisational structure, of the (at its height) >10 employees, bred a culture of miscommunication, poor management and infighting. -Company no longer works from the 'desirable' main offices listed on website. They also reportedly have abruptly 'skipping out' on last listed premises, (Cotton Exchange, Liverpool) according to the building managers, Bruntwood. -The current 'Showreel' displayed on the website is entirely a collection of work from designers who no longer work there, and is not an accurate representation of current in-house capabilities.
