Pros

Generous holiday allowance and generally nice colleagues albeit some incompetent

Cons

Where do i start?!? Antiquated stock system (still developed in house) Lengthy decision making processes/ chain Lengthy and complicated operating processes and procedures No flexibility Senior managers / directors do not answer communication, emails, requests for help; do not take decisive action No openness to new ideas - that would save time and cost Lack of transparency Lack of communication No listening No respect for suppliers and no effort being put into building relationships with them No respect for customers Soo many staff, each dealing with minuscule tasks but completely oblivious to the bigger picture The list goes on....

Pros

I have only been with the company for a short time, but I’m really enjoying working at Hoover Candy. From day one everybody made me feel welcome and supported, especially my manager. When I arrived on my first day she had all my log in details and a lap top ready. This may not seem like a lot but in some companies, you can spend your first week trying to get this information. We have baskets of fruit delivered each week and the social committee always have lots of fun things going on. It’s nice to be part of a company where everybody is passionate about the brand and also its staff.

Cons

None so far, seems like a great company

Pros

People are nice but unhappy so this causes big problems, most feel undervalued.

Cons

Low wages, little communication, unhappy employees, name calling, resentment, Managers don't care about staff in most cases. Poor working conditions, no canteen, old windows in service centre and not double glazed but dirty and scruffy.
