Pros

Some really lovely people work here, however they are hemorrhaging good staff by the day. Close to asda and Lathams so you're sorted for lunch (which is good seen as there is no canteen) The feeling on your last day is pretty amazing!

Cons

Directors who look down on the rest of the staff. Ridiculous amounts of rules which make you question whether they're just there to stamp authority on staff - no brews before 10am, no holidays allowed during the first week of January etc Terrible pay Next to no benefits Results from the recent staff survey were absolutely scathing and it's easy to see why.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review even though it was very hard to read from our perspective. As you have written anonymously and now left the business we can only apologise for your negative experience working here. Clearly this is not something we want for any employee, past, present or future so for that we are sorry. Since our change of ownership in early 2018 we have made a whole host of changes to the business which include removing those rules you mentioned. The business has also taken action to improve employee benefits, additional holidays, discounted gym membership, simply health, dress down fridays to name a few. The business has also used the results from the annual staff surveys (the third one is being issued very soon) to continue to make changes so this has been very worthwhile. We are very pleased to have seen a shift in culture over the past 12 months and hope that our reviews from current employees reflect that point of view. Once again, thank you for your review apologies for getting it wrong with you and wish you well in your future career.
