5 star reviews are all fake - Anonymous employee Guaranteed Irish Employee Review

Mostly a re-iteration of what has been said before. Every 1 star review is accurate, while the 5-stars were written directly by, or on behalf of the CEO in a panic once they began noticing the bad reviews. CEO is very difficult and hates any sort of confrontation that she thinks threatens her position or her intelligence. She cares about nothing other than top end sales, and even at that, has a very biased view towards certain members. As a result she does nothing but milk dry the 500-odd members (not 2000 as she and the website claim) for sponsorships and additional injections of cash. Any ideas, plans, activations, or campaigns which she didn’t directly think of, she will shut down immediately. The irony being that if the team was allowed to flourish outside of her micromanagement and control, she would reap the benefits of more sales and members. As pointed out on Liveline: consumer awareness and trust in the G symbol is very very low becuase there has been next to no proper Brand Awarness pushes due to marketing being handcuffed at every turn. Benefits are a pipe dream too. On new job specs, phone and laptop are listed as “perks” despite them being essential requirements to do your job, because nothing else is offered. No overtime, no time in lieu, no bonuses, no benefits of any kind, and base pay is laughably low. There’s also no structure or consistency to salaries. People with the same title are regularly paid wildly different salaries. “Executives” earn anywhere from €25-40,000, with no rhyme or reason as to why. As a result of all of this, staff turnover is absolutely disgracefully high! Irish average turnover rate is about 18%. In Guaranteed Irish it’s close to 90%! In a single 12 month period 10 people left the company - on average the company only employs 12 people at a time (including the CEO)! And reading the reviews below, it’s not hard to see the common cause of the turnover!
