A Toxic and Mismanaged Workplace

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid work, one of the only true benefits, was ruined by mandated return to office (minimum of three days a week).

Cons

This was, without a doubt, the worst place I have ever worked. The company fosters a culture of favouritism, where success is determined by who you're friends with rather than on skills or merit. Rules and policies are inconsistently applied, with clear bias towards those favoured by senior management, especially across the Brighton team. The senior leadership team, particularly Heads of Departments and Directors, treat employees as numbers on a spreadsheet rather than actual human beings. Mistakes and gaps in training are blamed on employees, rather than acknowledged as failings of leadership. Gaslighting was common, and the overall culture revolved around blame rather than accountability or development. At times it felt like HoDs deliberately withheld opportunities and critical information, micromanaged excessively, neglected regular check-ins, and provided vague, opaque, or even personally demeaning feedback. This created an environment that was not just stressful, but outright toxic. Leadership seems to face zero consequences for their behaviour, even when it crosses the line into what many would consider bullying behaviour. However, due to the culture of favouritism and lack of support, employees likely felt discouraged from formally raising grievances. The company’s so-called people-first and mental health initiatives appear to be nothing more than empty PR rhetoric, completely detached from the lived experience of employees. Do better!

Worst Culture

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Some colleagues are nice and there are good benefits.

Cons

- The benefits don't outweigh the uncomfortable environment you can end up working in here. - Low pay, boys club culture which is very much based on favoritism, and your achievements won't be recognised as your own. - Management is in chaos so promotions seem to be based on who's friends with who. - Also the diversity and gender pay gap is abysmal! Overall this place seems more focused on acquiring other small businesses instead of building a one good company at the core.

Don't Be Fooled

Pros

This used to be a wonderful place to work, but unfortunately, the last twelve months have been a downward spiral, with misery trickling down from higher-ups that has now reached the people below management. Some aspects of the job can be flexible to fit around other responsibilities and requirements. Some of the people you work with are great, but that doesn't extend to upper management who are out of touch and don't really care.

Cons

PMG took over our company and blinded us all with false promises. Everyone from the former company has either left or is miserable and thinking of leaving. The takeover was a disaster from the outset, but it has gradually deteriorated. Work-life balance has completely vanished, and the stress and upset from work regularly infiltrate your personal life. You are expected to work beyond your hours to keep up with your workload, but without overtime pay. The rewards system is transparent and poor. You only receive recognition or progress if you're someone who works outside of your contracted hours and if you shout the loudest. Earning a promotion is next to impossible, and the pay increases for said promotions are minimal and not comparable with the extra workload and responsibility. You are expected to adapt to new procedures with no training and penalised and punished when you are unable to complete the task because you have not been properly trained. If you are required to work on something outside your client work, which happens often due to dwindling numbers of staff who keep leaving, you will be expected to prioritise this, while either letting your client work suffer or working beyond your hours to be able to complete your workload. Lower pay and extremely poor "pay rises" and bonuses, especially when being promoted.
