Never work for this poorly managed company!

Pros

If I'm honest I'm struggling to find any Pros. I worked with a team of staff that were both talented and great to work with. As their manager I couldn't have asked for a better team. Their commitment in the face of adversity was remarkable.

Cons

The bad management of this company stems from the top down. The owner not only do not have a clue in business (as is indicated by a string of failed other business in their past along with law suits and court appearances) but also have no respect for their staff, with a tow the line or your out attitude (often quoted in those exact terms) You are expected to work, at whatever level of the company you are at, 'as required' and are seen as a problem if the most important thing day and night is the job. The main problem stems from not being able to manged client expectation from the very top. A 'yes man' causes all the issues by agreeing to everything, without consultation with senior management or other directors then expecting everyone in the company to make it happen, so he dosnt loose face, even if the task in hand is either unachievable. if you fail, despite highlighting the issues, this is then your failing. This review may be beginning to sound like sour grapes, which i can assure you its not. more a warning to anyone considering employment here. if you believe what is said at interview or in adverts, please dont be fooled. It is very much smoke and mirrors at best and at worst out and out lies. I failed do to do adequate research before joining. having now the insider knowledge and more research behind me the owners of this company have but one thing on their minds lining their pockets and using whatever methods are required and regardless of the impact on other people. Please once again...do adequate research on this company before committing. Have the contract ready by your solicitor (its worthless!) research the previous names of the company (which has changed three time and been in liquidation twice. Also the business past of the main shareholders, their other failed business and previous court appearances. My advice.. stay clear!

Very disappointed that you had such strong and negative feelings about our business and our clients and were not happy at Eco Signs. We were very clear at interview and you were fully briefed and advised of the nature of the Industry and our client demands which is very challenging and in Management this is certainly not a 9 - 5 job. Also 40% of our workforce have been employed by Eco Signs for more than 10 years and 30% - 5 years and would add that many employee's have left and returned but we do fully understand and appreciate the pressure's of the day to day business. The Housing and Construction Industry as we all know was one of the worst hit industries through the recession and hit every business and individual.

Pros

A great team of people to work with

Cons

Complete lack of leadership here! staff turn over in the last 18 months 50 + people from sales directors, Marketing managers, Account managers to production staff and fitters. No training in my time there, left to perform alone and if you don't cut it within 4 weeks you are gone. Many did perform well but Eco's problem was not recognising this or being too arrogant to ever imagine that the "hired help" may have some good points and taking their comments on board. Sad to see the responses from the MD - still thinks they are great, Speak to your clients and see what they say - assuming you have any left.

Pros

Genuine people working there that have fallen unlucky working moraless cowards

Cons

As a business this could have succeeded way beyond what it has. If it wasn't for two of the 5 directors being absolute cowards with no regard for the client, the product and especially the staff who work under them this could have been a fantastic place to work. It is like genuine dictatorship and I wouldn't advise anyone to work with or for these lower than low sharks. I feel for the people who worked there for very short periods who had left jobs moved house, bought new houses a based on these people promising the world. 3 of the units theta had been set up last July are now closed. How bad are these people that they do all that investing and lose it all in sort a short time. These people should be named and struck of as company directors or as employing people in anyway. I feel for anyone who is still working there

We are disappointed as a Management Team that you were not happy whilst employed and your comments noted. All employee's are recruited and subject to a satisfactory 3 month probationary review, if objectives are achieved - employment will be made permanent. I would also add in the last few months we have had various "team building" functions which have worked really well and received very positive feedback from our staff.
