Pros

Certain teams are helpful and have a lot of knowledge. The people are generally pretty decent to work with despite a certain level of backstabbing between departments.

Cons

Very top heavy and way too many vague "manager" job titles. Won't provide the correct equipment to those who really need it because of cost but manage to keep a healthy amount of expensive sports cars in the carpark. No learning process & discipline from mistakes meaning the same issues arise from job to job. The very sales driven way the business operates means that those who actually do the work after sales promise unrealistic and uneducated things often end up with a lot of pressure from the client to do the impossible with very little backing from senior management. Employees are given long notice periods to make it hard to leave and then struggle to get deserved increases and progress careers. You are treated more as a number than a person. No bonuses! Ever!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate your input and take these issues very seriously. We do agree that we have great people here at proAV, and that they are key to the success of the business. Our staff work incredibly hard and without them, we would not be the company that we are today – that we thank you for. We do feel, however, that we do provide all of our staff with appropriate resources, including IT equipment, to ensure that they are fully supported to carry out their role. In addition we ask for continuous engagement from our team. In support of this we have launched “Recognize Me” where all team members can put themselves forward to highlight exceptional services, initiatives, client feedback to name a few. We understand that we cannot be everywhere at once, but we hope this will serve as a good platform to get that well-deserved recognition. We encourage individuals and line managers to participate in the scheme. A large majority of the team enjoy the social events and these will continue - one size doesn’t fit all but we are listening to feedback and endeavouring to provide something for everyone. With regards to the notice periods, the majority of those on this scheme feel assured to have this in place. Obviously, we do not wish to limit anyone’s opportunity to progress and therefore feel free to raise this with HR should you wish this to change.
