Pros

Everything good has been stripped out of this company.

Kontras

Just about everything now. There’s absolutely no atmosphere, everyone is so overworked and under rewarded that people are constantly at each others throats and different departments feel like they work for completely different companies. There’s no accountability when people can’t perform simple tasks or do their jobs effectively and upper management are bullies. The focus has shifted in the last two years from sustainability (there was never any in the first place and the waste that’s collected ends up at the same place as every other company) to making their new American investors cash. The C-suite team lied to everyone in the company about new investors being a positive thing and since they’ve come in it’s been to the detriment of the people that actually make the company the money. Employees are forced to work for borderline abusive customers with absolutely no welfare on hand whatsoever and then jokes are cracked from managers about how awful that customer is when they’re not the ones who deal with them on a ground level. Bonuses are an absolute joke and even in a sales role the company will do anything and everything they can to wriggle out of paying you, even if you hit/exceed your targets. Company progression is non-existent and good luck getting anyone, especially the COO, to actually listen to changes and improvements you need to make. Our CEO has ceded control of the company to the American investors and their self appointed CFO and in the process has lost his mind, berating employees for chatting, sending nonsensical messages that are impossible to decipher and accusing people of leaving early while also demanding they work overtime. Don’t even get me started on the ‘tech’. Nothing First Mile implements actually works and basic tasks are a challenge to complete because of how poorly everything is set up

Agree comms between departments can improve. Having cross department teams like the Green Team launching will help along with our new social plan. Please let me know if you have more ideas, very open to them :-)

Pros

Snacks & refreshments available which are stocked weekly

Kontras

Poor pay for an excessive workload. Training is inadequate, yet expectations are unrealistically high from the start. Performance meetings are demoralising and focus on criticism rather than providing any meaningful support or coaching. The workplace culture is toxic, with bullying behaviour from both management and staff going unchecked. Progression feels based on favouritism rather than ability or hard work, making it difficult to see any fair opportunities to advance. Overall, not a company I would recommend.
