‘Cult-like’ office saw employees work ’15-hour shifts and not even get paid’
Published By admin with Comments 1
An excited young man who landed his dream job was left horrified when he was forced to pull 15 hour-long shifts in a ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ atmosphere – sometimes without pay.
Martin Hayfield, 26, couldn’t wait to get started after being told he would be working for Generation South Wales in Cardiff.
With a salary of up to £25,000 and ‘performance bonus’ for additional pay on top, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
He was told he had beaten 30 others to the position of “trainee sales and marketing assistant” at the firm – but the reality soon hit home, WalesOnline reports.
Explaining that Generation did not mention in job adverts or interviews that they would be doing door-to-door sales or that shifts could be double the norm, he said his dream turned into a nightmare.
