The Beans Group Reviews

- Out of touch, aggressive management who can't take criticism, are slow to make changes, and don't care about their employees on a human level - No sick pay and very little compassionate leave - No reward or recognition (financial or otherwise) for hard work, and little opportunity for promotion - Extremely low starting salaries whenever they can get away with it - Roadblocks and a lack of resources to any positive changes you suggest - Terrible culture where you are expected to give your all and then be grateful for the occasional free pizza lunch - Petty cliques and an exceptionally high turn over. 35 people left in the year i was there, some people got grand send offs, most were passive aggressively shunted, and the company at large was not told where they went or that they were going - The management talk to you like they're reading out of a management book about how to manipulate people - Minimum holiday days - An absolute inability to take feedback on any or all of the above without being threatened with dismissal or told you're the problem, not the company

- Comically bad management, no clear structure, inadequate training and support. Managers given no guidance or info to enable them to manage. - The business (The Beans Group as a whole) considers itself a start up (even after 10 years) but uses the label as an excuse, rather than actually behaving like one. Actually management offer no direction and have no original ideas, while also failing to enable to staff who do. - The depressing, uninspiring work environment and sense of futility had long-term negative effects on me
