Pros
- SSL247 hires a lot of young inexperienced staff so it's a good way to step in the industry and get some experience even if you just graduated. - Some staff are very professional and friendly, it's a pleasure to work with them. - You are quickly given more responsibilities and have a shot at showing what you're capable of. - International company and 2 offices in France and UK.
Cons
- Top managers maintain a toxic relationship with their employees: one is extremely rude towards staff, swears a lot and shows an unacceptable behaviour, the other is too distant (stays in another office) and hard to communicate with. - Lack of gender equality (female are more represented in repetitive office jobs, male are more represented in higher responsibility and management jobs) - Micro-management is the norm as well as constant changes in company direction. - The company persists in its errors and keeps blaming staff when failing to reach (unrealistic) targets. - No incentive to go the extra mile, success is poorly rewarded. - Management shows its obvious preference for the needs of the sales department
Pros
Ok, so this is rather amusing reading the other reviews of SSL 247. You can clearly read the high contrast of reviews from the talent and the talentless (the failures). If you want to join a firm where you can coast, make a little impact or profit... I got bad news for you son. SSL 247 is not it! I've worked for SSL 247 for now 3 years. In 18 months was promoted to team lead. Each year has seen my wage packet grow. The owner knows my name, shakes my hand every week, Other board members do the same. They query the trials and tribulations of my life they are a friendly bunch. I find it refreshing it's a weekly affair I don't require any more governance. They let me take some risks make changes within the organisation. If your willing to work hard and understand hard graft, I don't see any issue with working for SSL 247.
Cons
Sometimes on Fridays, the firm runs out of free proper beer and only Budweiser is available.. Come on guys we sell to fortune 500 firms, is Budweiser really the level we deserve. Again during the week alongside the fruit selection, they offer chocolate biscuits, cakes and other snacks for free. I'm on a diet and this is not helping guys! My salary can afford these treats but I don't know, to me it always tastes nicer if someone else pays.
