- Laid off around 10 members of their staff due to Covid 19 in March 2020 rather than furlough them with the governments scheme that was available at the time. It wasn’t a case of “last in, first out” either as they laid off some staff who had 1+ years service and kept others who had 4 months service for example. It didn’t reflect well on the company that this was done days after the top performing consultants and management came back from an all expenses paid trip to Miami.
- Expected to do long hours (which is made clear to you from the beginning anyway), but it is frowned upon if you leave to go home at 5.30pm and need an explanation and don’t feel it’s worth the 18K base
- Don’t feel I received the recruiter training that was sold to me
- The benefits outlined such as holidays and lunch clubs don’t really apply to anyone other than the top 5 same consultants each time
- The company micro manages everything you do, from your emails to listening into your phone calls. Bad impact on mental health of employees.
- The way staff are spoken to within the office can be very hostile and rude and there have been shouting matches in the office which creates a tense environment for everyone. Conversations like this should be private but typically happen in front of everyone in the open plan office space.
- There is no one to go to for support or grievances and no disciplinary action carried out within the organisation for actions that have been taken too far and impacted employee mental health.
- They have a high turnover of staff.
