Pros

Pays on time and has some good benefits including discounts on AV brands. Middle management are really the stars of the business, workaholics and really nice people.

Cons

Every staff member given a slightly different title despite having the same role, this is possibly to avoid paying them the same salary, which there is a discrepancy. S**t rolls downhill in this company. Huge pressure on the lower levels of staff and unrealistic expectations are put on untrained and new staff. Company uses outdated software which is clunky and doubles the workload for everyone involved. If you love entering the same data in several different places, you will love this! Really, it's soul crushing. Their head office is spread over an entire business park, which is not fully connected by sidewalks, meaning you need to walk on the roadway which has constant traffic to get between buildings. God help you if its the winter and its cold, raining and you need to get to a meeting room in another building. This also means that there is a big disconnect between departments in the business. Parking is a huge problem, cars are triple stacked on some of the buildings. 95% of the head office are white, there is very little diversity at the higher levels of this company.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us, we appreciate your feedback. It is great to see that you valued the variety of benefits we offer, we are continuously reviewing our employee reward package to ensure it meets our employees needs. We take great pride in the fantastic team we have here so were pleased to hear that you were fortunate to have worked with some of our great team members. It was however disappointing to hear your feedback regarding the pressures on other employees and the expectations of new employees. We have recently introduced a new training platform to support our current team members as well as new starters. As a team we also work very closely with Line Managers to ensure that each department has an adequate amount of team members, this is reviewed regularly so that vacancies are filled as soon as possible. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive employer and work with all employees so that everyone can achieve a good work/life balance. With regards to the point raised around the sidewalks on the business park, although not something we can affect directly, we are delighted to confirm that these have been replaced across the business park meaning that moving between offices is a lot easier than before. Thank you again for your feedback
