Minpunten
Where to start! Deep breathe.... Ok..... We have a CEO that waffles and doesn’t give a direct answer. A COO that spends 6 months trying to get a new entity of Clarify off the ground, but comes back with “I went to x amount of companies, told them what I thought, and they all told me to go away”......... great work. An MD that by far misses crucial leadership qualities and focuses on making examples of people that leave and dismisses major concerns that effect his staff and overall the whole operation. A couple of client directors that have no hold on their programs whatsoever, but blame their understaff or at times dismisses their staff if they lose a programme (similar comments below due to cutting overheads quickly as a good number of employees are only there for less than 2 years and do not retain certain employee rights). Program managers pulled from each angle to keep their directors above water. Senior BD’s that are solely in the position because they sit at their desk whilst having lunch, not based on performance or REAL positive impacts. Did not set correct expectations of the role. You will be completely managed and closely monitored. Commission scheme - commissions con You have to not only hit you individual target, you also have to obtain a host of different loop holes in a score card, then also ensure you complete individual rocks, to get 70% commissions in that quarter. The majority of which is not in your control. This means there is 5734478865 ways they can dismiss your bonus. The 30% is gained as a team or business unit. This consists of elements that again are not in your control, other members must hit targets and if not, again you will not get your commissions. Values that they most certainly do not take seriously. Over sell to their client and continually under deliver. They have multiple ears on the ground around the office making a really uncomfortable atmosphere. State they don’t micro manage, but most certainly do. Activity, calls, emails, admin admin admin. Continuous meetings, for the follow up meeting, regarding the meeting you previously had. Hindering the ability to actually get on and work. Try to brainwash and mould you to their ways of working and become extremely defensive if you make suggestions. Do not support nor continue a good development path, this consists of a “what good looks like” that they do not adhere to. I watched over 20 people come and go whilst being there (9 months), this is a company that has 80 staff and is struggling to create 5m revenue in 15 years!!! This creates a forever changing office atmosphere, with people leaving and new victims joining. A real “in the circle” atmosphere, as if you do not get on well with others, you will quickly be kicked out. They say you may work from home, but don’t allow you to. You will come across individuals allowed to work from home weekly, but not all staff get the same love and affection. All in all, THE worst company I have ever worked for and wish I could go back in time and save my efforts. This was not a professional progressive path, nor a side step, simply a waste of time for their own gain.
