Your mental health is more important - Sales Concierge bei PetsPyjamas: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Some may think that comparing the environment to that of North Korea is crazy, however, I would liken the owner and manager to a certain german dictator. I worked at PetsPyjamas for less than a year, and my mental health deteriorated massively during this time, to the point where I would have several anxiety attacks before going into work. This isn't due to the job itself, which is actually mundane, and very boring, but due to the environment itself and the management team as a whole. You are promised many things, uncapped commission, a fun working space, dog friendly office, social events to name a few, however you quickly learn that this is false information, and my only regret is truly not listening to these glassdoor reviews. The commission structure changed SO many times that it was hard to keep up with. I was actually one of their top sellers and I still barely managed to get buy. The targets were totally unachievable, and given that they were cheating their customers out of money (by adding extra onto hotel quoted prices), this made it much more difficult to get my customers to trust and buy with me. The workspace is totally and utterly vile. You are not allowed to listen to music, or chat, people were moved several times, just because they became friends, to the point were my best friend at the job was moved onto the opposite schedule so that I was isolated. If it's a particularly bad sales day, the owner would come down and pick people out, and embarrass them in front of everyone. The office was dog friendly - if your dog was quiet and didn't cause any disrupt by playing, which is funny because the naughtiest dog in the office was the CFO's, he would constantly urinate on everyone's belongings. The social events were bare, and always mid week, so that nobody really turned up because they were nervous it would affect their performance the next day and in turn be ridiculed for. They have no sympathy whatsoever, to the point were one of their main investors (who works in tech and also invests in many other projects created by the owner) made fun of the fact that a member of staff wasn't at the "christmas party" due to a family death - just why???? I was harassed and bullied so badly like many others. I was actually present, when a member of the team was screamed at in the most disgusting manner by the owner one day, all because they didn't stop and have a conversation with her. After filing a complaint with the none existent HR team, they were brought in for a meeting away from the office. I know they were supplied with evidence of the bullying, and also statements from many others detailing the bullying and harassment they faced from the owner and her many minion managers (who are too scared to lose their paycheck than stand up for what is correct). They were terminated. According to the "impartial" HR team they couldn't comment on the "private conversation" between the owner and this said employee, which is a total fabrication, as the whole office could hear it. I feel obliged to write this on their behalf, as at the time, they were so incapacitated by their mental health, that it took months for them to get better. I wonder how they sit with this on their conscience. Just save yourself any hassle or trauma, truly, don't bother.
