A stop-gap job for the thick skinned only - Designer Solopress Employee Review

Great management Good opportunities for progression Open to hear feedback

Not lots of holiday No sick pay Doesn’t always take on criticism

I came out of the creative industry after working at a toxic environment which completely knocked my confidence. But, without Solopress I wouldn’t be back doing what I love and for that I’m super grateful. I’ve just passed my probation period here and I’ve never felt so settled and appreciated in a workplace so quick. My team are truly fabulous, supportive and kind. The management within my team have put my needs as priority as I have personal issues outside of work which they have acknowledged and supported me in every way they can and continue to do so. The office atmosphere (site 3) is great, shared kitchen, modern appliances, large open plan space with cosy seating areas and beautiful meeting rooms with plush interiors. Out of work hours gatherings organised such as summer parties and Christmas do’s. Occasional holiday gifts including Easter eggs and thoughtful gestures recieved in such a short time I’ve been here too - all of which makes you feel genuinely valued as a team member.

All places of work have there pros and cons, but when weighing it all up I would say the parking is one of the few pet peaves, although my hours are early I find it doable. If you work a little later (9-10am start) I can imagine it may be quite tricky. For me personally, that’s the only thing that I can highlight from my time spent here so far.
