Overworked, overstretched. Too many money saving methods implemented.
I work full time hours but nobody gets contracted full time as of the last few years (people on old contracts from back in the day still get full holidays, sick pay ect). It means I can't take a proper holiday without becoming completely skint.
The company seems to rely on mainly students/people who still live with their parents. It doesn't care about the people who have life experience and actually want to do a good job.
Some of my colleagues (and customers) can be a bit "small town mentality" even though it's still a london branch... A bit traditional/old fashioned in men and women (not overly but I sense I'm seen as slightly lesser able as a woman to do a job good for some reason.) Although it is good I'm seeing more women in management roles.
Super bright white lights. It used to be a more yellow type of light. Now I struggle to sleep at night.
Varying working hours - sometimes I will have to work 12.30-9.30pm then the following day is 9am-6pm. I don't have a very good work life balance here...I basically cant do anything social during the week, and I can't sleep well because it's a stressful environment to work in.
Noisy.
