Pros

Decent salary. Unmatched pension scheme. Private medical insurance

Cons

Too much effort is put into making things look nice and professional to those who want to take a glimpse into the company from the outside while the outcries of lesser employees are constantly ignored. The whole "employee owned" concept is verging on fraudulent. The lack of external management and oversight consolidates power and influence to a hand-select few within the company with bigger pay cheques. The supposed elections are also lies, as the elected have no real influence over the company; just a glorified title and a limited-time-only pay rise. Company sales stability is also questionable, as the numbers are constantly rigged to hit targets regardless of actual progessions.

Nepotism is rife.

Pros

Onsite gym was good but has closed now. Company Sports day onsite bar

Cons

The issue we have is that we rely heavily on promoting internally and therefore all of the board and senior leadership haven't worked anywhere else. And there is generally an insecurity around this and that subordinates genuinely challenging the way things are done does not get met favourably. Nor does pointing out the things they do which are in the grey area, for example being asked to work while furloughed. Gripple doesn't like following the rules, even when these are the law, so follow them. Nepotism is everywhere If you aren't liked you will get NDA'd out of the business, random friends I've had have just disappeared. Culture is like marmite. Business is not diverse it's only recently appointed female directors.

Pros

Benefits and flexibility are brilliant.

Cons

You are not allowed an opinion unless it is the same as senior management’s. If your face fits and you can get friendly with management you will go far. Gripple creates a culture of poison and would sooner lose good people than attack a problem because the problem is the MD’s best friend.
