Pros

When I first started it was a fantastic place to work. I learned a lot and really developed my skill set with great coaching and management around me. The earning potential was high, the targets were high but manageable as long as the work was put in and the team was solid.

Cons

Towards the end of my tenure I felt like the company had gone cold, they showed little remorse and there was very little room for growth. With the number of acquisitions and mergers going on it felt like there was no direction and selling anything to anyone became the norm. Targets became unreachable and products were never really improved upon.

Pros

Hybrid working arrangement allows for some work life balance.

Cons

There are countless issues with this workplace, and it's hard to know where to start. The culture here is beyond toxic—bullying and micromanagement are the norm. The inequalities are very much evident, with zero effort towards creating an inclusive or equitable environment. Microaggressions are rampant, and this has only worsened since the GL acquisition. Employee feedback has highlighted these issues, yet management only engages in superficial "tick box exercises" with no real action or accountability. Favouritism is out of control. Meanwhile, employees desperate to secure their positions post-acquisition resort to underhanded tactics like throwing colleagues under the bus to gain favour with senior leadership. The management is entirely incompetent. It's a "yes man" culture—if you voice concerns or offer new ideas, you're ignored or dismissed. One manager even told an unhappy employee, "Well, they can just leave." This kind of attitude reflects the complete disregard for employee wellbeing and morale. HR offers no support, instead enabling the bullies to thrive unchecked. The result? High turnover, with employees either quitting, or going on sick leave. This workload often falls on remaining staff, who are underpaid and overworked, leading to severe burnout—issues disproportionately affecting employees of colour.
