Vantaggi
- A good stepping stone into the sector in which your forum operates - The new Bracknell town centre is surprisingly good so lunchtimes are pleasant respites from your day and there are some decent options for meals out when it comes to your leaving do. - Shared antipathy for management creates strong bonds between colleagues in already sociable atmosphere. On top of this there’s a huge selection of great stories - relating to members of the management team - passed down over the years for you to enjoy and ensure their longevity. - It turns out you can find friends for life.
Svantaggi
- Regular firings and middle managers’ tangible fear of senior management create the toxic background upon which you then add the often-hostile and reliably-uncomfortable atmosphere of weekly editorial meetings. For up to 3 hours of these meetings you will desperately battle both eye contact and laughter or, alternatively, daydream creative ways you could hand in your notice, all whilst management do everything they can to make you feel like a petulant child for not aggressively chasing someone in the real world to speak at one of the events you’re overseeing. - - The work is intellectually challenging around only 10% of the time, tops. - There is a sad old-fashioned and damaging air of male superiority that runs through the heart of the organisation. Sexism and favouritism abound.
