Pros

The job is very hard but it is worth it! You just have to throw yourself into the business, understand the products and immerse yourself in the culture. It won't be for everybody, but I'm really enjoying the place now i have done over 12 months here. It's a fast paced entrepreneurial business which feels like a good move so far. When I first joined, I wasn't sure about the culture and 'vibe' in the office but I have to say that I have been here now over 12 months; it's much better than I originally thought. The culture is certainly unique, but now that i understand who the business are, and what the expectations of me in this role are, I feel much more settled and happy that i made the choice to join PHMG. Its a challenging role for sure, we have high client bases compared to other AM roles I have done, and yes we don't get to work as home as much as I would like but I knew all this before I joined. I would like to progress here and see where it takes me, the new progression plans / structure that i have heard about sound great and would be much better than what is in place at the moment. A plan of how to progress and what that means at each level as an AM sounds like a great idea, just hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Cons

The tech can be frustrating, I've certainly had a few issues with my laptop but nothing that wasn't sorted quickly by helpdesk. Dynamics is TERRIBLE but we are moving to Salesforce in the new year which will improve as I have used this before so I know what is around the corner, it can't get any worse than Dynamics! Parking is very difficult and there's a LONG waiting list to get a spot but close to met stops from Manchester city centre so not too much of an issue.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that, after 12 months, you feel settled, understand the expectations of your role, and are enjoying the fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture at PHMG. We’re especially pleased to hear that you’re excited about the new progression plans — we want everyone to have a clear path to grow within the business. We hear your points about technology and parking. It’s good to know that Helpdesk was able to quickly resolve laptop issues, and we’re looking forward to the move from Dynamics to Salesforce, which should make day-to-day work smoother. For parking, we appreciate your patience and encourage team members to liaise with Facilities to secure a space where possible. Your suggestions on departmental meetings, visibility of management, and front-line input are very welcome. Engaging with teams and creating opportunities for everyone to share ideas is something we actively encourage, and it’s great to know you’ve noticed positive changes already. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience — it’s feedback like this that helps us continue to improve and support our teams. P.s. financial comms on the EOT are coming this week, so keep an eye out for those, — People & Culture Team, PHMG
