Toxic culture, backwards management, no progression

Engineer

Pros

After looking back, none Discounts - Were you ever going to spend 100s of pounds on a Burberry coat? No? Then the discount is worthless. - Also only goes up to any decent discount value (30/40%) when you're an exec or director. Because of course, the more money you earn, the larger your discount should be.... Great people stuck under awful management and a toxic culture

Cons

Every aspect is a con - Your team is under-appreciated and the execs are over paid. There is no leadership of any value and the level of cronyism is ridiculous. You will not make a career here if you have independent thought of any kind. The salary is laughable - They will supress any discussion of salary and threaten you with dismissal for discussing your salary with others.

Pros

Nice colleagues... Good discount... Sample sales. Great history behind the brand.

Cons

The management have no clue what they are doing, very arrogant don't listen and they don't inspired nobody, they are very very very patronising, they talk to you like you are 5 years old, staff opinion doesn't count for nothing and don't you dare question any management or senior staff decision or you'll get put in a room and get question why are you having an attitude.I witnessed the management arranging how to make my colleague quit and the funny thing was when I was back from holidays my colleague was suspended for gross misconduct and then dismissed.I could be here writing an book about it.
