Average Experience - Installer Rompa (United Kingdom) Employee Review

Very friendly colleagues. Moving to a new site. Good leave allowance

Micromanaging. Poor pay. Tend to be treated as a mushroom

We were aloud to drink water. Designers had a seperate design room. The Marketing Manager Craig was so real and so much fun, he made working at Rompa so much more enjoyable. I learnt alot about special educational needs. They were really nice to us around christmas and easter.

We could only get up at 10am or 3pm for a coffee or tea. The office manager could be lovely but took her job way too literally. If you were 3 minutes late you'd have to write down when you would make the time back. The building was not good, we would constantly have water leaks even near eletrical spots. It was also either freezing cold in the winter or baking hot in the summer, in the winter we were told to layer up because heating was too expensive. In terms of a design role, the Sensory room designer role really is just Drag and Drop Specialist - I would say you have about as much creative freedom as woking at Howdens or similar Kitchen/Bathroom sales places. It was a good job to get me from graduate to my next role as a stepping stone, but became mind numbing after 3 months of doing the same Lilac and Purple room every day. My very close family member passed away 1 month into working there and they handled it dreadfuly. Unfortunately now whenever me and my family think of that time, it is tainted by how completely distraught they left me when they firstly said i coud have it off as greavence leave, then told me it would be unpaid, then told me last minute that I had to cancel my Annual Leave (which was for my other part time job) to be able to go to her Funeral. The design room turn over is like no other I've ever seen. Since I left there apparently has been two completely fresh teams (Its a team of 5/6).
