Vantaggi
None that come to mind. You will find far better roles in the Leeds area, trust me.
Svantaggi
A joyless, controlling environment where the owner is obsessed with managing every minute of the day using a ludicrous video tool he has invented. He is prone to ranting and abusing staff.
Vantaggi
Friendly Fun environment. The co-workers like to have a good time.
Svantaggi
Disorganized and No tools available for you to be successful
Vantaggi
+ Great colleagues and customers. + Good to start and learn many new things. + Flexible hours, depending on the office.
Svantaggi
- Leadership non-existent. - 100% turnover. - No on-boarding/training—a baptism by fire learning environment. - If you speak honestly about issues or where we should be utilizing our efforts, you will be made redundant. - Barely any growth opportunities. - Won't make the investment in important tools (e.g. project management software, CRM) and you're expected to do more with less. - Purposely unachievable targets. - No organization or structure. (You're flying by the seat of your pants here) - Extremely poor international communication and collaboration. - No accountability. - Poor customer service. By far the worst con is the founder/CEO, Sean Gilligan, bottlenecking and micromanaging every aspect of the business. No matter what your role is or what country you work in, you're at his whim day-to-day of ridiculous requests and his deeply unpleasant, self-aggrandizing, restive and inappropriate management style, which he likes to call "unconventional." Instead of focusing on areas that are generating interest and profit (e.g. eLearning content creation, LMS development), the CEO pulled the company's best developers off big, important projects to develop a free, useless voice messaging app called Soundbranch with no market research. The Sales team are forced to push it, confusing and alienating loads of prospects. The app is a micromanagement tool for the CEO, who forces team members record "debriefs" for him on a daily basis. The work environment is dysfunctional and chaotic... it's a sinking ship. You're lured into a facade of a promising, high-growth international business only to find out that isn't true and the company is an absolute mess. All the negative reviews (two stars and under) here are 100% genuine and true, please read them all before considering a job here. (Just like past reviews have stated, the positive reviews on here are fake). Cheers and good luck.
