Thank you for taking the time to leave Aston Shaw a review and for providing us with some constructive feedback. We truly appreciate your input as a valued former employee. We are working hard to build a good culture at Aston Shaw so we are glad that we were able to provide you with valuable accountancy work experience. However, we are disheartened that your experience working here was overall negative, and we understand your concerns. Our vision is to maintain an engaging and interesting place for our staff to grow and thrive throughout their time with us, and we are very sorry to hear that this is not the experience you had. Since your feedback, we are providing more opportunity for open discussions with HR and managers to address any issues that may arise within our teams. This includes communication with managers and discussions of staff wages, as well as any other concerns which may surface. We encourage all employees to discuss their concerns with their managers or contact our HR department in our professional and friendly environment so we can work together to find a solution. Our intention is to make Aston Shaw an exceptional place to work, so we are always open to feedback, where honest and accurate, which will be considered and incorporated into future plans, as we recognise that there are always areas for improvement. So thank you again for your comments, and we wish you all the best for your career.

Pros

The team was helpful. The training was clear and easy to follow. I got to work on different types of jobs. Everyone was friendly. I learned a lot during my time there.

Cons

Some tasks were boring and repetitive. It was hard to move up quickly. The pay was quite low. Things were done in a very strict way. Sometimes work felt a bit slow or unchallenging.
