Business outlook

Pros

+ commission structure is good + prague is a beaut + Flexible open to ideas + admin/QA/marketing are really nice, and the Czech staff. + audit system at the start is a good idea to get feedback before you do it

Cons

+ 'Boys' culture of management. There is void of leader in the senior management team. Most have zero managment experience and lack humility, you get the impression they'll walk over their team. Also some aren't aware their actions on a Friday night, form an opinion of them on a Monday morning, Prague is a small place. + Toxic environment. Recruitment is highly pressurised but its a new level at nonstop. I felt sorry for the directors as there is no job security even at that level. They are driven by the fear of being sacked, so they are less likley to be respectful and patient with their employees, more likely to be a little crueler and this filters down. They are a little out of touch, and have a vision of a perfect recruiter, who works 14 hour days, skips lunch and stands up all day shouts down the phone, rather than intelligently using their time, creating deep client relation. Then they wonder why team leaders get burn out and leave. + Leased ferrari - at nonstop the highest prize is a ferrari, but noone mentions its leased, and they can/ and have took it off people in the past despite all their hard work. + Respect when people leave - When someone quits nonstop, instead of appreciating their work, they go into bizarre PR campaign and call them lazy, and insinuate they were going to get sacked anyway. I found this bemusing, and it degrades the job for all the current employees and devalues the work you are doing. Just appreciate that someone worked for you, then decided to leave, don't try to embarass them or put them down.

NonStop Consulting Response

Hi, Short response as I don't want to burden readers: 1. We own the Ferraris, outright, they are specifically not "leased/loaned/hired". We have never taken one "off" somebody. We may do but given the performance of the team members who have them is very good, it has never been necessary. 2. The senior management team have no experience in Management: They have all managed people for a number of years. Personally I am part of the Senior Management team and have managed people for almost 20 years myself. See above point over the senior management teams performance also. If they were not good managers then like any business with bad managers, it would not be working so well. 3. As a Director myself I can categorically say that I have no "fear of being sacked". We are very good and what we do. If something doesn't work out (whatever that may be) then we learn from it and adapt. There are some people who are promoted into Director roles, if you are expecting them to be perfect then I would point out that we didn't expect you to be perfect at recruitment when you first started? We also wouldn't be able to offer the organic careers that we can if we feared people not being perfect at the job from Day 1. 4. Actions on a Friday night: I don't know what you meant, but we let people get on with their own lives and be themselves outside of work. We don't want to impose. It would be unhealthy for your employer to dictate attitude, behavior, political opinion etc etc... into your personal life. I would also say that it is unfair for any person to criticize anybody else personal life as you have. Personally my Friday nights is spent on a sofa with my daughter, fiancee and dog. So you may be talking about 1 person, on 1 night? 5. Respect for people when they leave: People leave for all sorts of reasons, and people join for all sorts of reasons. I am personal friends with many ex-Nonstoppers. Quite frankly we are a business far too big to be able to go on PR campaigns about leavers and individuals. If you are saying that when people finish there should be no PR campaign, Even if this were to be the case, given that you feel it is not right, I would point out that you are doing the very same thing on Glassdoor yourself are you not?
