Pros

Some nice employees work there. Warehouse crew are great. Lots to keep busy with in a growing company.

Cons

Terrible bully culture that starts from the top and works its way down. Nothing in place to prevent harmful behaviour. Low morale. Toxic work environment. Archaic business practices and tyrannical management. Not much in the way of perks. Little to no room for growth/promotion/raise. Many employees have left because of their treatment. Several have taken time off from depression caused by being overworked, under appreciated and publicly ridiculed. Short-sighted when it comes to spending. Little desire to invest in training or activities that may improve profitability in the long run. One particular instance of poor management was when we were asked to fill in a form citing the negative words that came to mind when we thought of the company - an exercise aimed at making improvements to the toxic work environment. Once they collected the results, rather than running an open session on it to address grievances, it was just swept under the rug because management took it personally and saw it as negative towards the company. They even violated the anonymity that was supposed to come along with the submissions.

Thank you for your honest review. Unfortunately in the short time you were employed at Tecna UK, you didn't get to see the great progress we've made with regards to listening to staff and carrying out a full culture review. An initiative the management team introduced as good practice for a team which continues to grow. We received some negative feedback that allowed us to learn and grow. We also received a large amount of positive comments including key words like; Fun, Energetic, Loyal, Innovative, Supported, Enjoyable, Inspiring, Family and Teamwork. With regards to your comment 'many employees have left because of treatment' we would disagree with this. We have a fantastic employee retention rate and value our great staff. Many of our staff are entering their 4th year of employment, which is then rewarded with additional annual leave. Last year we also rewarded all staff with an all expenses paid trip to Majorca, Spain to celebrate 10 years of Tecna UK Ltd. It's a huge shame that you didn't recognize the other positives within our business but also understand that sometimes things are just not meant to be! Good luck in all your future endeavours. Kind Regards, General Manager @ Tecna UK

Pros

Some good perks for a small company, team attitude is overall good, I really enjoyed working with a lot of the people there. I felt like I learned a lot and was able to have an impact on my projects and some of the processes. Lots of things improved a lot over my time which shows they are growing and learning.

Cons

The industry can be unpredictable so sometimes there is lots of work to get through and its deadline focused.

Pros

Management have made significant changes to procedures, which are working well. Any Team leader will listen to your ideas and let you know any outcome. Makes you really feel like you are contributing to the team as whole. Everyone gets on and it's like an extended family.

Cons

Parking is an issue as space is limited.
