Svantaggi
Worst place I've every worked, and I've worked in a lot of places in my 30 years employment. Used to be great place a few years ago when the people running it actually cared about it. Then these people slowly left and they brought in someone that seemed to kick off a domino effect and since then it's gone downhill. I'm mostly referring to the marketing department, poor sods - but most departments will now be feeling the effects of a company that's completely lost direction. It's flailing about as it slowly dies, scrambling around trying to pretend everythings ok. But it's really not. From mass-sackings in the summer (mostly hard-working, well-liked individuals who'd been told to work hard for their efforts to pay off...only to be kicked in the teeth by the very people they'd worked hard for) to secret firings (people just disappearing and never coming back) ...to rampant nepotism over and above existing expertise.. ('my friend can take care of that') take your pick. It's gone crazy political - everyone's out for themselves and everyone has to be seen to be doing something. It's horrible. It's now common knowledge most people are looking for new jobs - and recruitment agencies wouldn't touch the company with a barge-pole. Make of that what you will. Only a fool would consider a career with this company - it had its heyday and now it's in terminal decline.
