Pros

half day fridays thats about it!

Cons

CEO employs good management with good ideas and doesn't listen to them because she's controlling! Also employs managers who are terrible and don't last long or if they do it's because they are Yes people to her! CEO never sticks to plans and contradicts herself all the time! CEO talked bad about the staff behind their back to me on the phone and on slack and told me to delete the messages and not tell anyone. CEO called someone in a big company meeting that they are a ret$ard in front of everyone which I can't believe she did! CEO has got a COO who is way too junior for a role that big and is a YES person to her! Huge turnover of staff which is mostly management due to them not being able to manage because the CEO wants to do everything themselves! CEO tells you to run with something for you to do that and make something working better for them to turn around and say no. CEO will tell all her staff that they are doing amazing bla bla bla but in fact, they are struggling and just let 10 people go and even told one of them by Voicemail. CEO told me she was getting rid of one of them months ago and that they were getting fired.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to learn. You are expected to know your role but there’s an understanding that everyone has opportunity to learn, whether that’s within the role you are in or in other areas of the business. The majority of the staff are willing to go beyond their duties to help and there are very few that are here to just do the 9-5 and be siloed.

Cons

The only downside really is that we can’t have the entire team in one location more frequently. It’s understandable when you have staff in several countries but it’s always a positive when you get the team in one place.

Pros

Honestly the people here are awesome and way too good for the nonsense they deal with. Everyone is just doing their best to survive. Half day Fridays are nice when they don’t get yanked away as punishment.

Cons

This place would actually be solid if not for the CEO Jo. Or as I call her: Jo-nado. Shes unpredictable. Loud. Volatile. You never know when something is going to set her off but when it does, watch out! She’ll go from 0 to 100 before you’ve had your first cup of coffee with emotional outbursts and complete chaos. My survival plan:. Avoid eye contact. Dont make sudden movements. Stay still, maybe she won’t notice you. Think Jurassic Park except this T-Rex has rage issues and the memory of a goldfish. When she finally spots you, game over! She’ll start firing off random questions that make zero sense and before you know it, you’re her new target. Everything you’re doing is now wrong even when you’re literally doing exactly what she told you to do. At this point, I just nod, pretend to take notes and wait for the storm to hit another department. I swear Jo is allergic to consistency or something. You cant win with her because she is not wired like a normal human. Its like the logical part of her brain got fried and it now runs on chaos and misplaced confidence. Thats why I turned her into Jo-nado in my head. Shes just a destructive force coming through that you have to try to avoid and not let her bring you down. Otherwise you’ll lose your sanity faster than your half day Fridays.
