Tough to carve out a Future at Future plc

Anonymous employee

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Direct Manager and team members.

Cons

The salaries are not competitive amongst industry standards and it’s very difficult to receive any sort of pay raise. As a result, it’s hard to consistently stay motivated when you feel your work isn’t being recognized. There is constant turnover and the morale isn’t what it should be as a result. It appears that the company is more concerned with acquiring new brands than taking care of their own employees.
