Pros

I am a month into my time at Fawkes and Reece and cannot praise them nor thank them enough for how fantastic they have been. From the hiring process the talent team was fantastic, Being there with any queries and advice I needed. They were very professional and friendly and were able to put my mind at ease during what is normally a stressful process. The interview process wasn't just a few generic questions, It was more personable and come across like they care about the people who they invest their time into. Something that has shown beyond the interview process. I am new to recruitment and changing careers is hard and can be very stressful. But I can honestly say the people here have made it so much easier. Everyone has been kind and helpful. I have worked at places in the past where more senior members of staff have treated helping new people or even saying hello as a chore. The atmosphere here as well is hard working and fun. People are happy working here and celebrate each other's successes. If anyone needs help the help is there. In my case my managing director has gone above and beyond despite being extremely busy with her own work to go above and beyond constantly checking in and helping me as well as countless others in the office. My time at Fawkes and Reece so far has been a happy one and I am very very excited to move forward with them.

Cons

Honestly none. Very happy here.

Pros

Staff culture friendly Good training, thrown in the deep end type of culture where you learn fast Work hard attitude Free fruit

Cons

-Basically paying below the legal minimum wage (24k to start) - No work from home, so you are made to spend most of your low income on travel 5 days a week -Management are selfish, and stuck in their own ways (old school culture) -No sick pay, so if you are unwell, youd have to come in, to get paid or you have to come in until 1PM to get paid if youre ill -Not much support from management when your struggling and ask for help, if you say youre struggling for money, they just dont care -Staff have a high retention (always new staff coming in and staff getting fired of leaving) -Annual leave isnt great -The company only hire 17 year olds to make sure they can pay them small income (management are very stingy with their money) - Bitchiness from management, slagging off other agencies, blackmailing you to stay if you want to leave. Im writing this to help new staff or people that are thinking to start actually know what the company is like.
