Stressful and miserable place to work
Pros: -Very demanding so learnt a lot
-Started off my career with a low benchmark for what a full-time job is like and gave me low expectations from a company. Henceforth this has made me really appreciate what working in a nice company is like and has made me more tolerant of negative aspects because this one was so brutal.
Cons: -Long and unappreciated working hours. Rarely thanked for your work and looked down on if you left within contractual working hours.
-Had a 1:1 performance review with my manager twice during the year I was there and both were largely critical and negative experiences.
-Everyone felt on edge and under extreme pressure all the time.
-Horrible, negative, toxic atmosphere.
-The team I was in was understaffed so about 6 of us had to do work for about twenty especially as people kept leaving.
-Constantly undermined by manager and honestly called stupid
-Incredibly low  wages despite the arduous work put in which is demonstrative of how ungrateful and unappreciated we were.
-Poor opportunities for career progression and the salary bonuses offered were pathetic.
-No focused training provided on the job. You had to learn as you went and were treated like an idiot if you made mistakes/asked too many questions.
