Pros

Unlimited holiday is a fantastic perk as our the regular social events

Cons

Future constantly keeping buying new companies, so there are few opportunities to progress as any new opening is filled by an incoming manager from a new acquisition making a sideways move rather than being made redundant.

Future has made a lot of acquisitions recently, and that transition is never as smooth as everyone hopes it will be. Risk of redundancy is a source of anxiety for everyone, and new opportunities in that environment can feel challenging. At the same time, Future has been in a constant state of growth outside acquisitions. We've launched several new brands in the last year with plans to add more, and those teams are constantly being filled by people looking to seek a new challenge and reach new goals. I hope you're able to find a place where you're happy, it's unfortunate you didn't feel like that place was here.

Cons

A slight reliance on OOO work (i.e many employees are expected to work outside of office hours, although never implicitly requested)

Thank you for dropping by and leaving a review of Future. We’re so happy to see you enjoy our perks and benefits. We want everyone at Future to have a good work/life balance and we encourage you to speak with your manager if you feel your workload is becoming unmanageable or eating into your time at home. Sometimes deadlines and projects require us to work slightly longer hours, but please remember that taking time to recharge is vital. One of our unique perks is unlimited holiday and we want you to feel empowered to use this, especially after a busy time at work.

Pros

-Autonomy to do your job (unless, as I hear happens, your team is micro managed). -Great brands. -Lovely colleagues across the board. -Always something new to learn.

Cons

-Despite efforts to claim otherwise, nepotism runs wide and deep within Future. -If you hate corporate politics then steer clear.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Future and speaking so positively about our people and brands. Employees are hired for two reasons at Future, firstly being the right person for the job in terms of skills, experience and ability. Secondly their fit with the Future values and the way we choose to behave as a business. Great people know great people! We operate an employee referral scheme and actively encourage our staff to refer talent to work with us.
