Warm friendly founder-led business - Retail Sales Assistant Pepa & Co. Employee Review

The Pros of this review sum up Pepa and Co well (and indeed most fast-growing businesses). We are a small company meaning you are busy and get responsibility and variety from an early stage. Alongside that, we pride ourselves on being a good place to work and with that comes a culture where people are friendly and new friendships and relationships can be formed. However…. People do leave sometimes – but we have plenty of people who stay. The environment doesn’t suit everyone and part of our learning is understanding how to ensure people fully understand that this role will feel different to a larger organisation. We’re tackling this by improving our recruitment and our onboarding processes. Bosses lacking management skills and having a history of bullying is simply not true. We have had no complaints about bullying (which I would take incredibly seriously) and as this person also mentioned the environment is a great place to make friends. It saddens me to feel like people don’t feel appreciated. This Company is my baby and I work hard to ensure its growth and success which is only possible to do with my team. It is however, a busy environment (with less structured management and review systems than larger companies) and this won’t suit everyone. Responding to anonymous reviews is never easy and as the founder I take responsibility for any ex-employee feeling resentful towards me or Pepa and Co. I want and believe this to be a great place to work which is only possible because of the great team I have here.
