Pros

> The staff in the Manchester office are amazing and are trying their hardest under testing circumstances > The company benefits are excellent

Cons

The way we plan things and then roll them out is very poor and ideally the whole process needs to be reviewed. We currently have changed the entire sales floor, only to the detriment of the sales staff. Apparently it was a good idea to change every sales persons base of customers and increase their target, so now nobody has any pipeline and have to start again from scratch. We also now have a "specialist team" that know less than the main sales staff but get paid more. We also have a director that rarely visits the office and we have a team of managers who take no accountability and spend most of their time hiding from the sales people. Any feedback offered is not taken well and seen as being negative. Also we seem to have manager favourites that are allowed to work adjusted shifts, these people leave the office around 4/4:30 but no work is being done before 9am. Finally the culture being generated by the managers is worrying, no accountability, people hiding data and also finding out how we can take orders off sales people rather than celebrating the wins.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
