Pros

In an industry known for treating customers badly, Capital is the exception. The company is built on customer service and the focus is on maintaining a very loyal customer base.

Cons

As a company that has grown organically there is very little room for someone new to the organisation to progress their career.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are committed to providing ethical business advice and exceptional local service, so it’s good to know that this is also your feedback. Regarding career progression, we recognise that our long-term growth depends on recruiting and developing new people with the skills to guide our business through the next decade of innovation. At the same time, our ability to offer long-term career paths has undoubtedly been a major strength of the company, delivering as it does, real expertise and consistency to our customers. Trying to get the balance right between career opportunities and staff retention is often a matter of timing, and one which we’ll not always get right. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss your particular circumstances. Beverley Burness HR and Operations Manager

Pros

The capability of the machines you work with make the job interesting. Most colleagues are lovely, and sales/training teams get company cars.

Cons

The Chiefs v Indians culture runs deep. Too much pressure, unrealistic targets, lack of support for staff even when very sick, ie not being paid when off for cancer treatment! Too many “bosses” who expect you to drop your entire life and just live for Capital. Stressful environment with grown adults being told they can’t chat to colleagues during brief downtime’s, expected to return to the office even if your last job finishes at 4.45, regardless of when you started, and regular appointments so far away that you need to leave at 5am and not return till 9pm but no overtime offered. Totally inflexible working environment. Staff are cogs in a machine to make money rather than people with feelings, lives and families. I felt completely undervalued and like my “face didn’t fit”.

Thank you for giving us your views and feedback. We are keen to keep strengthening our business in a tough and highly competitive marketplace, and recognise we can’t achieve this without the goodwill and efforts of all of our employees. It’s always our intention to create a friendly and professional working environment. This makes it all the more disappointing to hear negative views from your experience of working with us. As a highly regarded company, we’re firmly focused on meeting our clients’ expectations. This in turn keeps us at the forefront of our industry and enables us to continue to be profitable in spite of market challenges, and provides security for our workforce. We acknowledge that we can be very determined in our efforts to deliver the best possible results, so we’ll take the time to include your comments in internal reviews to see if there is anything out of balance that needs our attention. I was surprised by your comments on employee conditions - particularly in the area of sick pay, for which all employees are eligible. As part of our benefits package, we have an enhanced serious illness scheme in place. We also provide a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme, and increased everyone’s holiday entitlements in recent years, very much with our employees’ wellbeing and work / life balance in mind. Our working week is mainly contained within the hours of 8.30am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, or, occasionally when clients’ particular requirements dictate, recompensed by giving time back or making extra payments. If you feel that you have not being given access to any of the above, or due reward for your work with us, then as head of HR at Capital, I would welcome the opportunity to understand and respond to your situation further on the assumption that you are happy to contact me.
