I don't think I got that close to being expelled for my shameless guying of teachers, revelations of their eccentricities and outright malfeasance, but it was made fairly clear that things would go badly for me if I didn't desist. My pedagogues at secondary school also took a dim view of the Eye-inspired satire rag I photocopied and distributed, and which was named – in an homage to Dave Spart, their parody Trotskyite columnist – "The Alternative Voice". As I recall it depicted Lord Longford – known for, among other things, his zealous campaign against pornography – walking past a couple of sniggering schoolboys, one of whom is whispering to the other, apropos of the bare-domed peer: "They say it makes you go bald." Needless to say, my teacher took a dim view of this decal, the creator of which I'm ashamed to say I can't remember, although it may have been the incomparable McLachlan, just one of the many great cartoonists to have found a home at the Eye over the years. I've been with the Eye for nearly four of its five decades – I remember cutting out and pasting a cartoon clipped from its pages on to a school exercise book in 1972, when I was 12. Still, this could be because I knew a fair bit about it to begin with, and Macqueen's book has only filled in the blanks. The work itself was fine and most of my coworkers were great but very poor management.H aving read Adam Macqueen's commendably exhaustive encyclopaedia of Private Eye, the British satirical fortnightly, I now feel I know rather more about Lord Gnome's organ than I wish to. As I stated, management has their favorites. Employees are not valued for quality of work or performance. Many of the negative reviews on here are unfortunately accurate. The company's turnover rate is through the roof. 25 cents/hour increase, you were considered lucky. For example, in a yearly review, if you received more than a. The CEO is constantly preaching about company growth, yet as the company grows, employees wages remain stagnant. Quality went out the window a long time ago. The CEO makes promises to clients and expects the account managers to uphold these promises but does not provide them with the necessary tools. The first person, is constantly overwhelmed from all that the CEO dumps on them, they can't manage, the second is a "floor supervisor" that works from home, and the third, their day consists of sending out mass market emails and then calling other employees internally to ask dumb questions and pretty much waste everyone's time. The main problem with this company is the "management." The management team basically consists of three people. There are a few things I like about - more.
Even if you run into a situation you don't know, there's tons of people to ask and they're usually nice about helping. Lets you get some confidence in what you're doing before you're just thrown into it. More training than I've had at previous jobs. This job gives you a pretty good amount of training and they start you off small/slow to give you a chance to learn the ropes. They do a lot of free lunches or potlucks or little contests, sometimes giving out gift cards, plus those decent raises I mentioned. 1 hour lunches, paid breaks, lenient dress code, health benefits, paid vacation/sick days, and paid holidays. There are lots of perks/benefits that you can get no matter what position you have. You might start working here thinking it'll just be a stepping stone, but then you realize working here longterm is more beneficial than trying to hop around. That makes it great for younger people to get that experience and prove their abilities in reality instead of theory. Schedules are flexible, too, since there's 4 different schedules you could potentially pick from.Ī lot of jobs will bar you from applying due to arbitrary requirements (relevant work experience, college degree, etc), but not here. Raises are common and really only require you to complete your daily work. Even for entry level positions, the wages are very reasonable. If you just want a general overview, the type of work is relatively easy, but different enough on a daily basis to keep things from getting stale.
