Pros

Can bring your dog to work Shares after a certain amount of time Free breakfast and snacks Friday beers

Cons

Pay low compared to other start ups (who Tails constantly compare themselves and their customer service too, but refuse to match salaries) Bulling and favouritism by upper management rife Very strong bullying culture which is completely ignored and not addressed no matter how many complaints Discrimination against anyone with any kind of issue or illness Heavy blame culture Forced sense of fake 'culture' where you are penalised for not joining and have permanent marks left on your performance review if you choose not that join in 'optional' activities Total lack of regard for staff well-being Happy to let customers be racist, homophobic, xenophobic as long as they are 'happy' and company is making money Zero support of staff when it comes to abusive customers Lack of HR while i was there (although i believe this has now been addressed) No career progression unless you are friends with management or threaten to quit

Thank you for your feedback. I’m genuinely upset to hear that this is how you feel about your time at tails.com. We are passionate about our “team spirited” value, and we’re proud to have low turnover and high Net Promoter Score (NPS, 75 across tails.com and 80 in Customer Experience team, Oct 2017). Weekly meetings with your manager and our open, flat structure should have helped you feel supported, able to thrive and develop. We try to make sure that feedback is given in a supportive way, along with advice on how to excel at tails.com. We value our employees as much as our customers which means that we don’t tolerate any abusive behaviour. I’m really sorry to hear that you didn’t feel that support. Our sickness policy is applied to all health issues, including mental health, that any of our team is unfortunate enough to experience. We try to be as flexible as possible when helping our employees recover from illness, often allowing flexible hours or home working if that is what is recommended by your doctor. We’d never want our teams to feel that events, socials and activities were an obligation rather than our commitment to team engagement or spontaneous friendly get togethers. Once again, thanks for your feedback. If you would like to share more, please feel free to reach out to me. Kind regards, Henrik Malmquist, Head of People at tails.com

Pros

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career.

Cons

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career. On the flip side, you trade away some control over your time and decisions, deal with office politics and bureaucracy, and face limits on flexibility and earning potential. It’s a balance of security and structure versus autonomy and upside.
