Worst company I've ever worked for. Very unprofessional, very limited possibilities and conflicts of interests between departments. Having a 1 to 1 with managers and getting good feedback and the next day getting bad feedback from someone who is not even in your department(Bethanie Crisp to be exact) it's something that a respectable business will never do. If you are a recruiter, stay away from this #WeAreLying love to hashtag company - Their only values are hashtags and social media, everything else is hell. There's no 0 stars otherwise I would've give it

I have been waiting 3 weeks to get paid, everytime I contact them I get an excuse or no reply. It looks like its going into the 4 week without being paid, I will.be taking legal action. If I could give it a zero rating I would.

I joined MANE in January 2019 and I absolutely love my job. The work environment is fantastic, we are well looked after with things like fresh fruit and encouraged to take time away from our desks. People come first at MANE!
