Pros
Inspirational purpose, clear strategy and always surrounded by great people. Great flexibility and trust in you deliver. Really is a great place to work.
Cons
The speed of change with a big agenda to deliver - but all for the right reasons. Big goals ahead but will all be worth it.
Advice to Management
Keep believing in people (which I know they will) - it sets Bromford apart from the rest.

Great place to work. Staff are really well looked after and everybody wants to help each other out. You are also actively encouraged to progress and are provided the tools to do so.

Only downside is the car park :)

Pros
I'm 6 months in and can honestly say that moving to Bromford was one of my best decisions. The companies goals and outlook are great and the DNA is lived by everyone from Senior Leaders down throughout the entire company.
Everyone is open and friendly, and my immediate team have been incredibly welcoming and a huge support over the last few months.
I enjoy the work and interacting with my colleagues and most of all am loving my work life balance now. I'm looking forward to what the next 6 months and beyond will bring at Bromford.Cons
There are none that I can think of.
Advice to Management
Keep it up!

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Bromford full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Good personal benefits choices, good pension, flexible working hours
Cons
I felt quietly bullied in to leaving which was really difficult after over 10 years here. I thought I would never leave, but some of the management changed, directors changed and then I don't think I was appreciated.
Some staff are quite nasty about each other behind peoples back and then smile sweetly. Eventually I think I noticed it's full of smiling nasty people.
Sometimes I felt unsafe having to be alone with customers in their houses. This should not be the case.
You should never feel afraid to do you job, but that's how it got me.Advice to Management
Do not leave new management and Directors unwatched. They can cause chaos and you aren't noticing this!
Remember we all have feelings and we don't want to feel that we can't come to work.Bromford 2018-05-07 23:32 PDT![Bromford Logo]()

Pros
Wow, where to start! Very friendly colleagues. 1st day welcome with a lovely balloon and 'new job' card signed by everyone. The training has been fantastic, there's a lot to learn. EVERYONE is so very helpful. Fantastic employees rewards package. Work/life balance is amazing, still something I need to get used to! 3 weeks in, a very positive experience so far :)
Cons
If I had to pick a negative, it would have to be the travelling to various locations around Birmingham/Wolverhampton and Lichfield for training. BUT, this isn't every week, and will only be for a short while during probation. Also, training starts at 10am, this takes the pressure off of worrying about traffic delays.

Pros
Working from home, free drinks, good flexible benefits
Cons
After far too long wondering who was about to talk about me behind my back, I had to leave. It was just such a strange, but completely false culture. Maybe my expectations were too high having read previous reviews, or there are several people working there who have basically been brain washed!
You are actively encouraged to be nice and lovely to everyone, and most people are nice and lovely, then they go and do something awful behind your back and make your life miserable by gossiping and being generally nasty.
If your face fits, you've got a job for life. It clearly doesn't matter if you can do the job or not, or if you have any experience in it, only that you know someone who likes you and is able to influence that decision.
If you want to be a consultant at Bromford, this is also no problem. In fact, you could leave and come back as a consultant and earn quadruple what you were earning before and no one will bat an eye lid! In fact, bring your friends too, it's no problem there.
If you love a meeting for the sake of a meeting, and making yourself look really busy when actually you've done nothing and not left the house all week, you can easily do it here and no one will mind.Advice to Management
Take a good look at your own values. Where is the commercial nature in letting certain Directors squander budgets on bringing their friends in as a Consultant and wasting thousands?
Don't be fooled by those you think are not actually bullying their team members. They probably are, but no one says anything. They are too scared.
Employ some experienced, valuable Directors who can drive your business forward and not waste tax payers money.Bromford 2018-04-29 11:12 PDT![Bromford Logo]()

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Bromford full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Bromford are very flexible and keen to promote a good work/home life balance. Without the flexibility I have had over the 10 years, working full time would have been very tricky. I have been fortunate enough to have excellent line managers how have been very open and happy to have honest conversations, even though sometimes they may have been difficult.
Bromford offers plenty of opportunity if you want it and equally if you like what you do there is no pressure to change or move.Cons
All companies have their niggles, however I don't feel I have anything particularly negative to say, my experience has been positive. My only gripe would be salaries are not amazing but the flexiblity does often outway the monetary value.
