Pros
Can't really think about anything.
Cons
1. Work Visa is a pie in the sky. If your goal is to stay in the UK, run, run fast, don't trust them. In 99% of cases, they won't actually give you a work visa unless you have a terrible nature, think there's nothing wrong with the behaviours listed below, and plan to collude with them. So that after suffering mental torment for a few years, you can climb to a low-level managerial position like them and engage in gaslighting newbies for fun. 2. There are no benefits, and you have to bring your own work computer. They don't provide any insurance to employees, salaries are close to the minimum standard, and annual leave is based on the legal minimum. 3. Colleagues in the office loudly use extremely dirty language to insult customers and clients, and they smoke indoors (which is illegal). Anyone well-educated would be shocked. 4. The training mechanism is imperfect and chaotic. Within 1-2 week of joining, they expect you to handle all the work. What they call "training" is cramming everything into your brain in a few hours through oral instructions and a few useless training videos, and they expect you to remember everything instantly. You're also required to review everything in your free time at home. If you can't remember everything at once, some colleagues will get angry, and some will criticise you. (If you're not familiar: in many non-Chinese companies, entry-level positions come with at least a 1-3 month training period, with hands-on guidance.) 5. Overtime work is common. The contract states that there is a one-hour lunch break, but if you actually take more than half an hour for lunch, the manager will be very unhappy and ask you to return earlier. They repeatedly imply that you should order takeout and eat while working. 6. Compliance testing: They repeatedly call you during your lunch break, after work, and on weekends, not because there are actual emergencies, but because they "want to see if you can answer the phone anytime, anywhere." You may receive up to thirteen calls in one day on a Saturday. 7. Trying to enforce a Huawei-style “wolf spirit" mentality in Europe is absurd. 8. On the first day of work, I heard blatant racial and gender discrimination comments during colleague conversations and training meetings, which was extremely shocking. (Specifically: racial discrimination - using derogatory racist nicknames for brown-skinned delivery riders; gender discrimination comments occurred multiple times, including but not limited to making lewd comments like "if your female colleague wears XXX, can you control yourself?" accompanied by lecherous laughter). 9. Managers judge the appearance and physique of subordinates/colleagues (I wasn't the one targeted at the time, but if I continued to work there, it’s just a matter of time). In summary: Hideous. Extremely bad. If your goal is to stay in the UK long-term, you won't get a work visa. Run as far as you can! If your goal is to gain experience before returning to home country, don't choose this company. Try to accumulate experience in international large corporations, as that will make your resume more convincing. Otherwise, return to your home country immediately to accumulate domestic work experience. It's better than enduring unproductive gaslighting here, especially since you won't really learn much from work content. Remember, you only live once, you're young only once, don't sacrifice your dignity and precious mental health for an unworthy job opportunity. No matter how difficult your current situation is, how hard it is to find a job, broaden your horizons, and you'll find that there are other paths to take.
