Pros

Very friendly company, the atmosphere in the office is really positive. It’s also a very relaxed place to work. There’s not much stressed placed on most of its employees and for the most part people are not overworked. It’s flexible in the ability to jump between teams. E.g. it’s very common for someone to join maybe an operations and then end up in a commercial role.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity for significant wage growth except in the senior management and upper-middle management. Not much bad to say, I left simply because I didn’t find the work I was doing interesting at all.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry that your experience has fallen short of what we would hope for. Specifically in our Operations department we have a strong management team who is leading with care and understanding of their team needs and challenges. Recently we have introduced targeted Coaching which is supporting managers with their leadership style and we have seen great improvements since then. We will continue to find ways to develop our people and ensure strong leadership is in place. If you would like to discuss this further, please do reach out to HR@espug.com, Many thanks.
