Broadspire Reviews

Belittling higher management who will do anything to put more work on you but won't even consider a salary raise. If you don't do as asked the response is " it is part of your training and development and you have to give a little to get a little", but the giving part is only one sided and you won't be compensated for doing a job 3 grades higher than yours. Incompetent higher management who are more interested in telling everyone about themselves rather than helping a crippling team with a low morale, ignorance is bliss as long as they're okay. Length of service equates to experience which is not the case. Pushing staff for internal promotions when they aren't ready just to make the terrible staff turnover look good. Managers are degrading and unless your happy to treat staff like a number you won't fit in. Challenging management is always an confrontation because there's no training for managers and they can't deal with criticism, even when it's genuinely constructive. Nepotism to the highest degree allowing friends and family who come into the business to follow different rules to everyone else. Constantly overworked and asked to more with no benefit or even gratitude. Managers (not all but most) are in a clique and like nothing more than to go the pub for 3 hours every other Friday when there team is picking up their work cause they can't manage themselves. Management sending emails for team to complete and needing a response by COB however you can see from the chain they received it 3 months ago however the onus now on you in an attempt to obsolve themselves from incompetency. No care for mental health and it's more of an eye roll when staff say there stress and a joke is made out of it. Multiple complaints made against managers which either 'go away' or result in staff just leaving because nothing has been done. They mostly hire the younger generation who have never worked in an office before as most people who come in with experience tend to leave within a month due to the terrible working conditions and lack of morales and culture.

- Management unqualified and are promoted by other managers who are equally unqualified/incompetent and they're all friends - Weaker employees are not trained and instead have their work dished out to the stronger employees so the root cause is never addressed - Stronger employees have to take on much more than just the weaker employees' work, yet they're given no pay rises, bonuses or significant recognition - Rare pay rises/bonuses and if they are given, they're given globally so the stronger employees who earned more are not awarded more - There is a huge issue of segregation and class separation between staff and management; management are treated like royalty who take lunches when they want for however long they want. If a staff member steps out of line even slightly, they're made an example of - Terrible recruitment ethos; they would rather bring in unqualified new starters in order to fill seats quickly as opposed to waiting and hiring someone who will actually contribute to the team/business - New starters are paid significantly more than existing staff and as I said, pay rises/bonuses are rare - The company is very unqualified and unprepared to deal with mental health. I still have several contacts at Broadspire, all of whom are struggling with mental health - Inability to grow and listen to good ideas if they come from staff members; managers will often downvote any ideas but then revisit them months later and take all the credit - Severely lacking career opportunities for anyone who isn't afraid to stand up and defend themselves/others against management
