Pros
I have worked at YHG for around 18 months, so I can't talk about the "old world" (Arena and Harvest days) as YHG formed about 4 years or so ago. I’m not going to ‘argue’ with another’s viewpoint even if I don’t agree. We are all entitled to our opinion, so I’m just going to say it how I see it. Despite some reviewers inferring it's not a nice place to work - I disagree. I enjoy working at YHG, I have a supportive line manager and great colleagues, and they make me want to come to work. I won’t speak for others but what I will say is that I work with a lot of like-minded people, I know this because I experience it every day. Yes, we have our ups/downs - who doesn't, but I've received nothing but support from those around me and when I visit other YHG sites I am treated respectfully by my colleagues and they’ve helped and supported me when needed. I might do more now than when I first started but I’m actually OK with that because I want to give as much as I’m able. I want to do a good job and go home thinking “I’ve made a difference”. I’ve got a job that I like, working with people I like. The pace of change isn’t for everyone, but this IS a good place to work. Regardless of what’s said around positive reviews, I’m not a member of the management team, I’m just a regular employee who genuinely likes working at YHG!
Cons
Losing the opportunity to work with some good people who may be put off by reviews - I recommend you to make up your own mind.
