Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It's good to know that you are making the most of the training that is available to you, but I'm sorry to hear that support from leaders has been inconsistent. As you are probably aware, we are investing into our leadership programmes and more support and resource is being made available to colleagues through a number of channels, which should make a positive difference to some of those concerns you have raised. Thanks again for your review.

The people at Bromford are incredibly welcoming and supportive. I have been at Bromford for only 4 weeks and have been provided with so many opportunities and so much training. Very impressed with the leaders who unlike other companies will support you and really do want the best for you.
Cons
No downsides come to my mind.

We are sorry to hear that things did not work out for you on this occasion. We try to ensure we have a robust interview process so that candidates can get a real flavour of the role, and Bromford, before they start. As a Neighbourhood Coach, colleagues can cover a wide area but these are normally based around a ‘patch’ that is local to them. If you would like to discuss this with us in more detail, we would welcome you to contact us at recruitment@bromford.co.uk

Pros
People are great. Money is good. Work is very interesting. Our company purpose is amazing. Subsidised Gym opposite. Flexible working hours. Certainly forward thinking in terms of new technologies/software, and a lot of people with great expertise to help push the company forwards. I love working here. Loads to get stuck into, and lots of collaboration.
Cons
Nothing significant that I've found.

Pros
It was a good company to work for but bad management
Cons
I was employed as a labourer in Chipping Sodbury. After years and of service I was made redundant last year. I have recently heard that the business are employing labourers through an agency and did not contact me to offer my old job back. I had been a loyal employee and feel the company didn’t treat me right. No morals

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that things did not work out for you and to hear that you were made redundant last year. Bromford had to align some of the roles following the merge with Severn Vale and Merlin and as a result, this has affected a number of colleagues. We have taken on some agency workers in some areas, but this is only a temporary arrangement due to an increase in work over the winter months, no full-time positions have been offered. I really hope you are able to find something new soon, and would like to wish you all the very best for the future.

Pros
The teams I have worked in have been great, very dedicated staff, fantastic atmosphere and hard working. It is a pleasure to come to work! Its a relaxed and informal culture yet everyone gets the job done and done well. Management support has also been great, IT equipment provided promptly and training courses available straight away, even before I started the role.
Cons
We are sometimes let down by our IT facilities/equipment. Signal can be patchy (EE) and this makes being paperless a bit more challenging sometimes.
