Pros

I cant think of any unfortunately

Cons

Oh, gosh, where do I start? Probably the absolutely toxic atmosphere, and I worked from home! The company I worked for was acquired by Voneus, and after three and a half years of loving my job, I went to hating it almost overnight. The management particularly the senior managers have absolutely no clue whatsoever in how to treat other human beings. The management are plain rude, and talk to you like children in a playground. Putting people in the spot in Teams meeting then lording it over them is a regular favourite. There is zero respect, you are not allowed to think for yourself, and constant threats of disciplinary action should you do anything outside of set down procedures - which is fair enough, IF they have been explained to you in the required depth and you've had chance to learn them.... instead, "training" is a case of "here it is, get on with it" Most of the less senior staff seem decent enough, but there are also a lot of brown nosers who are so far up managements backsides trying to make a name for themselves, and generally failing. Mental health is through the floor in a lot of the team, but, bring that up with management and tell them you are suffering, and you're pretty much told to man up and get on with it, not in so many words of course. The amount of process and red tape is borderline insane!! How any company can possibly support their customers when they need to have a meeting about everything is beyond me...... as an analogy, iamagine customers with no connection are on fire...... so, they have a meeting about it. IN that meeting they decide to send a fire engine, BUT, they need to arrange another meeting to decide what kind of fire engine to send....... then, they need another meeting to decide what colour it should be, and then, probably another to decide who should drive it............ when the customers houses finally burn down, they act all surprised then, guess what....... they have a meeting to find out why they burned down..... Very little room for progression, unless you are a really, really good brown noser. I honestly could go on and on........ and as for the "Gamechangers" rubbish........ they couldn't change a lightbulb between them all.

Pros

There are some very talented people in Voneus who work really hard for the good of the Company, they are willing to help and are keen to embark on new initiatives, however, middle management are expected to do more with less.

Cons

There is no ownership / accountability at the very top of the organisation. Money was leaking out of the business due to poor decision making, no pushback on the CEO. As a result, the company have made redundancies but top management have managed to escape the process. Some serious questions really need to be asked.

Pros

Colleagues are cooperative, and so are the line managers.

Cons

Training not upto par with my previous workplaces. Training promises were not met. To stay here you need to do a lot of research on your own to grow. Worst part is they renew you on a 6-month contract and not a permanent one.
