A terrible business to work for.

Pros

Day off for your birthday

Cons

This company will work you into the ground. I didn't think the company could get worse when we were in Cardiff but it got SO much worse in Bristol. I was lied to, bullied, disrespected, treated like an idiot and given a work load that was crushing. When I raised objections I was told 'it couldn't be that hard'. I was given so many impossible tasks and then pulled off them when other disasters erupted. I was then told it my fault that things didn't get completed. Despite several meetings with HR and multiple complaints by staff, nothing was done to alleviate the stress and tension. New staff are treated like cattle and old staff are treated as expendable nuisances when they dare to say that management ideas are detrimental to good business practice. The managers are reactive and more interested in massaging the numbers than actually making improvements. They play favourites and are openly disrespectful. Complete shambles.

Pros

Staff were lovely and a sense of camaraderie created by constantly being demoralised by management and seniors Birthday off After being a handler your jobs prospects else where are good are good as your skin will be thicker than leather

Cons

Being reminded on several occasions that you should be grateful for having a job. Grown adults crying and taking long periods off sick due to the extreme level of pressure put on you and the ultra apathetic approach taken by management. Don’t count on doing the role you were hired for as you will probably be assigned else where and forgotten about. Unprofessional upper management who have been investigated under claims of bullying and harassment. Casual racist views and other appalling topics discussed on the office floor as management are reluctant to address issues with people unless they are specifically targeting someone.

Pros

the people who work there (senior management excepted). there is nothing else positive to say about the current setup.

Cons

appalling senior management - they have clearly never learned about looking after your staff - rude and manipulative to the extreme. no idea about being honest with staff. no development plan for staff no business plan except to run the business into the ground a 'one size fits all' way of working does not work!!!!!

We recognise that there has been a huge amount of change over the past few years within IQED. We have recently relocated the business to Aust, Bristol to integrate it within our Head Office operations and early signs are that this has had a really positive effect on the business and we are continuing to work hard to ensure that the employee experience is a great one. If there is anything specific you would like to discuss then please feel free to contact me at richard.mackinnon@brightsidegroup.co.uk. Thanks, Richard Mackinnon, Resourcing Manager
