Pros

The view maybe? The people of course - big up the team because these are the people that really help you get through your days The gym

Cons

Well where do I start? Everyone in the business on management level is a disgrace. They act like they are there to support you but in reality they don’t care about you one single bit! You’re just another number. Like they say, Croner-I has an everlasting revolving door! They cannot retain staff AT ALL, people are constantly complaining, leaving and they’re constantly hiring. Big RED FLAG! I had been at the company for about a year, I’ve never seen a staff team change so often across all departments. There is clear favouritism, some people get to do whatever they please, however they want because they make the company more money than others. All the managers and directors only care about the sales team It’s a horrible company to work for, toxic work environment. You feel like a robot, constantly being surveilled and micro managed. It feels like you’re at school rather than at work. There’s no flexible/hybrid working even through covid, back in December everyone was catching covid left right and centre and they didn’t let us work from home and had us in the office up until Christmas Eve which caused people having to isolate and be alone for Christmas!!!! Disgraceful. Like someone else said in another review, DINOSAURS. They hate people that speak up for themselves and only like 'yes men'. No sick pay, no maternity pay, no health insurance. Oh the irony that they sell HR services but don't even have a HR department!! Advising people how best to treat their employees but don't even take their own advice. If you do decide to work for such a treacherous, scandalous company it won’t take you long before you realise the real reviews on here are in fact true. By the way the good reviews are definitely written by management because I can guarantee you nobody is leaving this company with anything good to say!

Hello, as I said to the person who posted the 'Red Flag Ulert' review, there's a lot wrong with your comments. The support from our management team is constant and genuine. I take great pride in seeing Manager's celebrate other peoples' successes - we have a supportive, nurturing culture. We definitely can (and do!) retain staff - you are wrong by saying otherwise! Our retention levels are at an all time high. You are correct when you say we are constantly hiring - we've recruited 26 people over the last 3 months, have got another 6 starting on Monday, and are looking forward to welcoming at least 20 more over the course of the summer. Constant recruitment is kind of an essential task when you are growing your business!! You're right, we don't offer hybrid working in our sales department. Our environment is vibrant and our salespeople join us for the atmosphere and stay for the success this breeds. We obviously worked from home, at certain points during the pandemic, and we noticed a vast upsurge in mental health issues with a large number of our sales team. With everyone in the office this challenge has now reduced massively so it would be extremely unfair on our people to send them home full time again. We recruit people who want the 'buzz' of working in an office in London and it's this buzz that's contributed to our low rate of attrition. Finally, any positive reviews on here aren't written by Management - I'm way too busy responding to the numerous negative reviews that have been left by the same person - you!! So, in summary, your reviews are having zero impact on our recruitment, our growth, our team spirit or our success - so feel free to leave them but I would suggest you save your time and mine! Regards, David Surridge.

Hi there! We actually don't have an office in Texas so would be keen to know where you were based and if you were an employee of Croner-i. Our company operates in two UK based locations, one is London and the other is in Hinckley. If you did indeed work for us it's good to hear you have positive experiences to share regarding the benefits and training available - thanks for sharing this on Glassdoor! We'd love to know more on the cons you raised and what you mean by a rigid culture. We offer lots of incentives and benefits making our culture second to none so would be great to know how this can be made even better! Please do get in touch with us directly if you would like to elaborate on the points raised.
