Pros

Some really nice people work here and you can have a good laugh.

Cons

There is no structure whatsoever. The owner gets heavily involved in every aspect of the business and directs each department in different directions. There is no progression path, you have to fight for a pay rise and you are never fully appreciated. Our morning sales meetings consist of the owner telling us to leave if we don't like the way things are ran, which is very demotivating. I would avoid working here if you can. I'll be leaving shortly, along with many others, as we can't take it anymore. The commission structure is a joke. Constantly changes and is never agreed in writing. Zero social events, really badly organised Christmas parties and not enough holidays. There are actually no benefits to working here either.

Vacancy Filler Response

Thank you for your recent review, we are very keen to welcome all feedback whether it be positive or negative in order to constantly improve our ways of working. Firstly we are extremely sorry & concerned regarding your experience with the company, as this certainly does not represent our company’s core values and how we like to operate. In terms of progression, like many organisations we first and foremost promote this internally as there is much more value promoting within rather than having to look externally, as our existing staff hold much more value and have already been invested in by us. We believe that we pay competitive salaries compared to the market and we constantly reward those who over achieve to reflect their success too. With regards to social events, we agree that this is very important and something we are taking seriously. Last year we were lucky enough to have held our party at one of the UK’s biggest Zoos in an attempt to do something slightly different, which overall was a great experience. We have started more social events each month and are also in the process of arranging a company wide Christmas party this year which we are excited about - we understand it’s a valuable & important occasion to end the year and it’s a chance for us all to celebrate success, especially regarding this year as it’s been an incredible one for us! We also promote internal social events including our weekly ‘Free Food Friday’ where the whole company is rewarded with lunch on us, which brings everyone together just before the weekend. We are going through an exciting growth phase and are currently expanding our existing teams as a result of customer demands, which is all down to the amazing work our existing teams have done to date. If you are still a current employee and are struggling with the feedback mentioned, we hope you feel comfortable enough to come forward and speak with either your manager or our leadership team to express any concerns you may have, as we strive to get the best out of our employees and this type of feedback is something we take very seriously.

Pros

Open opportunies throught to be a free thinker and add value to the business. Your health & Your family come first Internal training and qualifications paid for by the business Everyones opinion is valid. From employee through to customers. Free Food Friday - I have managed this from the birth of the business. Its a great way to get the team together, celebrate some success stories whilst engage with other team members you don;t see on a daily basis. * If you are curious as to how we work, come and join us! Meet the team, learn about us and we will ensure you are fed and watered =)

Cons

It's not a 9-5 job. You have to give it 100% otherwise you won't get what you want out the role, be the professional you can be or get what you want in your own personal life. You get out what you put in. We are growing so.. Less places to park
