A typical day at work

Typical day at work was busy yet extremely quiet and dull. Employees and colleagues were non social and not helpful with giving information / direction. As someone very new to the sector I was asking questions n where to find documents or to be given access to the necessary folders in order to do my job to the fullest but was passed from pillar to post to do so. A task t9ok 4x longer than it should have done..

Worst place to work

This was by far the worst place to work in. From what I have experienced it is a very group based environment. If you do not fit in, you would be outcasted. Bullying, micromanagement (HR particularly) very common. Very unorganised, no clear communication of what needs to be done or how, no or very limited training provided with high expectations. Workloads are unreasonably high, you are expected to work overtime to do all of your work, otherwise getting very negative reviews from management during 121's. I would not recommend to work for this company, to be honest I would rather suggest to run from it. Also, management and senior staff do not shy away from unreasonable critique and fun making. Very unpleasant place to be in.
