Worst Employer Ever

Pros

None. The worst employer I have ever had.

Cons

Everything. Turd covered in glitter. Buzz words and all the correct benefits and societies in place but zero support for employees. Unmanageable workload, employee turnover incredibly high, no handovers ever. No support from senior management. Contacted at all hours. Given time off for world mental health day only to have deliverables moved forward that meant having to work right through that day late into the night. Senior management not supportive in the slightest. People being openly at breaking point and HR just brushing it off.

Pros

If you enjoy working really really hard for no recognition or reward, this is the place to work

Cons

Revolving door for senior management team Unrealistic expectations from management and WPP Zero support from leadership who ‘care about our people’s physical and mental wellbeing’; it’s all lip-service to improve public image but couldn’t care in the least whether people struggle or not
