Pros

The only advantage of working there is that you are surrounded by colleagues

Cons

HR non existent - no pay rises, yearly reviews are a nightmare they try to put you down instead of motivate you. HQ is based in Milan so all rules/legislation in London campus are around Italy and the way they work. Bullying environment - where managers are overworked and are treated badly by management. EXTREMELY HIGH staff turnover - London permanent staff counts up to 24-26 people and roughly 10 people are leaving each year! That says it all. Vile environment to work with low pay - and be prepared to work 2-3 jobs in your actual job title ! You will be expected to move heavy student tables to prepare before events and nobody cares whether you are woman or feeling unwell - try to say no and you will most probably get sacked at the next review. _Bad leadership _Emotionally exhausting _People are often crying _Unbelieveable hours with no recognition Any workplace would feel awesome after this Asylum! Staff has different yearly days holiday allowance! Some people have 22 days and some 25 - on top of this there are compulsory days u have to take from your annual leave (5 days!) so that leaves you with 18days holidays for year. Workload is ridiculous they expect 24 people in London campus to support school with almost 800 students!!! If you ever made a decision not to join this company trust me you have done yourself a great favour.
