      I have been working at EasyWeb Group full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Everyone is really friendly and welcoming. There is a pool table here and an endless supply of people happy to give you a game. I'm awful at pool, but its been a great way to get to know everyone in the office.

      Cons

      There always seems to be cake and treats dotted around the office. As someone with a massive sweet tooth, this is a challenge.

      I worked at EasyWeb Group full-time

      Pros

      Nice offices
      Quite location
      Managers not around much

      Cons

      Management team all work differently, so you never know what you are meant to be doing
      Don't really stick to what they say they will do, so have a really high turnover
      Misleading job adverts, very different role when you get there
      Too relaxed, people can be very disruptive when people are working and management don't seem to mind
      No career progression
      Salaries tend to be very low for supporting staff and promised bonus payments don't always appear
      Company have an internal policy of promoting a fun, young, thriving workforce (most reviews are from people who have only just started) Don't believe the hype

      Advice to Management

      Advertise and interview in a better way to not mislead people about the company
      As the company deliver training on how to get out of bad Glassdoor reviews by writing a cheery positive reply - actually apply the same responses when your staff raise the issues in person, before they feel its not the right place for them to work

      I have been working at EasyWeb Group full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      This is a cute village setting, very rural and offices set in farm buildings - lovely environment.
      Everyone without exception is super friendly and welcoming.
      The business still has a real entrepreneurial spirit - you feel like you can add value and make a difference.

      Cons

      If you don't drive then it would be hard to get to the site via public transport.
      Little in the way of employee benefits on offer, but it's still a small company.

      Advice to Management

      Communication between senior management out to the teams, also between teams, can be a bit sporadic - more opportunities to share updates and be open about company activity (starters, leavers, new business, etc)

      I worked at EasyWeb Group full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Fun vibrant office. All members of staff willing to help each other out. Lovely setting and always enjoyed my time working there.

      Cons

      Despite working in the recruitment industry and seeing similar jobs to my own being advertised when I disused salary progression with my line manger no feedback ever came back on to the gap in salary. A bonus system in place that did not reflect on my own efforts again was never changed or addressed despite several discussions with my line manager. The only progression ever discussed was in to a sales role that I didn't want so made the decision to leave.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing the good things as you do but listen to people's concerns on salary, bonus and progression as people do feel undervalued due to this but are not as outgoing as myself to feel they can discuss this

      I have been working at EasyWeb Group full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Before I add any Pros. Probably best to mention I am the founder of EasyWeb. So the following review will be my honest reflection on what it is like to work here. However, I suspect I am a bit biased.

       - Great office (with a pool table).
       - Working with a dedicated bunch of individuals. Flat management structure where everyone's opinion is listened to.
       - Fast growing business where there are lots of opportunities to progress.

      Cons

      - Recruitment is a tough industry and your first year in sales is likely to be a tough one. However, with the right support and dedication you can build a great client base and then the earning potential is great.
       - Car park can be a bit of a tight squeeze some days.
       - Kitchen is a little small.

      Advice to Management

      Hmmm this is difficult. What advice would I give myself and the rest of the management team......keep listening and communicating to your team members. Sometimes things are moving fast and it's important that everyone understands not just "what" we are doing but "why".

      We are just coming up to 50 staff big now and the challenge is going to be continuing to maintain the culture we have as we grow.

      Pros

      I can think of none. Sounded like a great place to work but reality doesn't match the perception.

      Cons

      Unprofessional interview process, poor management, look elsewhere for better culture and work environment.

      I have been working at EasyWeb Group full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      EasyWeb is a supportive and fun working environment. With regular team meetings we are all kept well informed of any changes within the company and the directors goals and visions for the business are shared with us. Individual and team successes are always noticed and shared which ensures that we feel valued and our hard work is recognised.

      Cons

      Possibly at times when the business becomes very very busy, teams can be stretched to the limit, but I think this shows that employees are willing to go the extra mile for the business, as efforts are often recognised and rewarded.
