Pros

Flexi-hours & Clean toilets (Sorry but I had to scrape the barrel)

Cons

I first think of the age-old saying of "you can't polish a ...." but I have to say you have done an excellent job of proving this saying wrong. Lovely looking building, very professional feel and great benefits are what you are shown at the very beginning. Then you are sat at a desk in an open office, and away you go! That is onboarding in a nutshell then you realise the office is lifeless, the people that do want to talk to you are afraid of being seen to be talking. You get warned a couple of times about the manager, but you know what that's normal there are going to be unhappy staff in most places. Then you realise why you have been employed because the manager that employed not only has no idea what it is you do but also they have let it get so bad that the only advice you should give them is "We need to start again!" this is when you realise that this was not an option because the manager had wasted so much money on it, we don't want to make them look bad to do we? So then we have a meeting with the company that made the mess, and they report back that I am talking rubbish they had done a fantastic job. I exit the business. I can still see they have not managed to sort the mess out after 13 months of me leaving. I, however, have moved on and increased the revenue at my new multi-million-pound workplace by 30% and still spent less than you have wasted.

Pros

A-SAFE makes a decent product.

Cons

Do not walk but RUN from any opportunity with A-SAFE. When I say that this is the worst company I have ever worked for, it's not just my opinion. It should be the company motto. I knew I made a mistake working here when the sales coach was literally encouraging employees to start interviewing with other companies due to poor leadership and inconsistent messaging. This is one of those places that will constantly ask employees for feedback, but if you disagree with the way things are running they will find a way to get rid of you. The most toxic company culture I have ever been a part of. They try to instill fear as a leadership tactic so everyone is constantly wondering when they will be next on the chopping block. Ownership has no idea how to run a company, so every few months they make changes without any kind of real vison or direction. If you do feel stuck here, use your time to start updating your resume and find somewhere else that actually values their people.
