Pros

Met some great people and came away with some true friends.

Cons

Micromanagement by the CEO CEO banned praying for Muslims which resulted in people praying outside in the rain! You get told of for talking, eating or wearing a coat/fleece. Bobby Kalar is a bully! Just out to line his own pocket

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you have made some lasting friends at Yu Energy and we agree with you that there are some brilliant people here. We also wanted to respond to some of the other points in your review. As an agile, fast-paced and fast growing business, things are constantly changing. We’ve nearly trebled our revenue over the past year and now employ a team of over 120 people. In the last 12 months we have created over 60 new jobs. To achieve all of this requires a great input from a wide range of people across all areas of the business, supported by a hands-on approach from the whole senior leadership team. We have a diverse workforce from a wide range of faiths and we take pride in being an equal opportunities employer. As part of this we have a wellbeing area which is regularly used by people of many different faiths. As many companies do, we have a business dress code which we expect our colleagues to abide by and our modern air-conditioned offices provide a comfortable working environment for all. We continue to invest in our employee benefits such as company pension contributions and annual salary reviews to ensure that we offer a competitive reward package for our colleagues. The views of our colleagues are important to us and we run regular employee engagement surveys. Our most recent survey indicated that over 80% of our colleagues are happy at Yu Energy.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you felt that our people are a supportive team with fantastic management styles and a great, friendly working environment. Our Employee Engagement Survey Results 2022 highlight that 94% of our people are happy to be a part of the organisation. Our management team are open to feedback to help them, their teams and the organisation continually improve. At Yu Energy, there is a strong zero-bullying tolerance which reflects all employee legislation. We have very clear processes and policies to ensure individuals speak up and report any negative behaviour to your line manager or the HR department. It is disappointing you did not raise these points if you felt this was the case whilst you were still a Yu employee, we have an open door policy and the HR team are available at any time to help and address any concerns that you may have. I hope you find the right role that helps you flourish in your career. Kind regards, Yu Group HR Team

Pros

I have worked for Yu Energy coming up to 8 years and can honestly say i have never had any issues. Reading previous reviews stating that we are overworked and underpaid i think this is a massive exaggeration. When joining a company you are expected to work to earn your wage. Unfortunately alot of people dont have this mindset and think that it is a playground, We are a striving energy company that at certain times of the month we are under pressure due to queries that need rectifying. This is the time to show how hands on you are and show you can work as part of a team. The people are lovely ranging from the domestic staff to the CEO. Everyone is treated the same where i am concerned.

Cons

Carparking in the leicester area but this is something we cant rectify due to the location.
