Could be a good place to work

Pros

Unlimited paid holiday CMS is easy to use

Cons

3 days a week in the office is so, so unnecessary and I cannot stress this enough. With the cost of living crisis this makes it so much more painful having to pay to get the train in. My particular job role requires a lot of concentration and working in the office is so distracting and unproductive. Working from home is great and I really don't understand why people who want to WFH can't just do it as much as they like, especially if it's more productive. The CEO pretends it's to do with the 'culture' when really it's a way to justify renting the overpriced offices. All I hear in the office is people saying how stressed they are and how annoying it is having to come in. Please do something about this, it could be a good place to work if there was more flexiblilty.

Hi, Thanks very much for the review, we believe the unlimited paid holiday is a great perk too! Thank you for your feedback on working from home, we know it is difficult adjusting after we have all been working from home throughout the pandemic, however we truly believe that collaboration is key for our organisation to succeed, and working together in-person is a big part of that. We never want our employees to struggle financially which is why during the pandemic we set up a hardship fund that paid out over £35,000 to our colleagues. If you are struggling financially and need support please do contact us directly at ThePeopleTeam@futurenet.com. Take Care, The People Team

Pros

absolutely none whatsoever to be completely honest

Cons

this is by far the worst company I've ever worked for. HORRIBLE micromanaging and upper management. Not one single person has a clue what they're doing. They are a total and complete mess from the very second you start onboarding. If you receive an offer from this company, DO NOT ACCEPT IT!!!!!!!! I wish I didn't...

Thanks for taking the time to provide your review. We genuinely value each and every review as it's a great way for us to know what we are doing well but more importantly, to understand where we need to improve. You’ve mentioned that you don’t believe there are any positives to note which is concerning and not feedback we would expect to hear. I'm sorry you've had this experience and would love to talk through it in more detail so that we can see why you feel this way and how we ensure others do not have the same experience. Please would you email me on Dan.Wolff@FutureNet.com so I can follow up with you.
