Pros

None at all - an absolutely awful place to work. The owner and management are all over the place, disorganised and malicious, and this culture trickles down into the rest of the office environment. I ignored my instincts and several red flags during the interview process. I wish I’d never stepped through the door. This is not a family business it’s claiming to be.

Cons

Terrible training, culture is awful, bitchiness and drama, lying and false promises from the management and owner. Communication is rude and aggressive. Staff turnover is extremely high, and those that have been there from the beginning are purposefully unwelcoming and not open to change. The charity work LOFT is involved in seems to be a mask to cover up an awful attitude to sustainability from a business perspective.

Thank you for your feedback. We welcome and value openness and honesty. In the last 18-24 mths we've gone through a major change program at all levels in the business, this has meant that team structures have needed to be changed and have evolved in line with current business needs. We take employee well-being very seriously and have recently invested in training 9 mental health 1st aiders. At LOFT we are very conscious about the impact our business has on the planet. We divert at least 95% of our waste from landfill and we plant a tree for every project apartment furnished. We wish you the very best in your future career

Pros

Salary was competitive (including bonus)

Cons

Senior credit controller. Allowed to work from home, but be prepared to be pulled into meetings the day after for disciplining. Flexible start times (8am-10am to 4pm-6pm), again be prepared for disciplining if you start after 9am.

Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate that you have taken the time to leave what is very much a personal reflection of your short time with LOFT. We're delighted to have our teams back in the office after the challenges of the past few years, and we do offer a degree of flexibility for people to work remotely, when needed and with prior agreement with their direct line manager. We believe in supporting our internal team in taking their first steps into management and we offer a wide range of soft skills training to those at all levels in the Company.

Pros

The majority of people below the directors are great people and hard working

Cons

Directors cannot make decisions and are very underhanded and egotistical chaotic and disorganised do not value all their people unless your face fits Lack of communication even when people leave the business Do not allow people to do their jobs Post mental health support yet directors create mental health issues by making employees feel paranoid and undervalued

Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts on your experience of working at LOFT. We are currently experiencing a great deal of change and sometimes this process brings a small amount of uncertainty. The growth LOFT has seen in the last 2 years has been phenomenal and we continue along our journey. We are really disappointed you feel you have not been supported; at LOFT we do want to look after everyone's physical & mental health , this is especially important at this time whilst we all learn to deal with the ongoing pandemic. We wish you every success in your future
