Pros
A great culture. Everybody pulling on the same direction and happy to help each other when needed. Continual growth year on year. Always looking for new products and markets to take the company forward to the next level.
Cons
Nothing comes to my mind.
Advice to Management
Keep on developing and pushing into new products and markets. Put a pension scheme in place for all. Company wide bonus scheme to celebrate success.

Pros
Management - Management at EssentialSkillz have been better than any company I have previously worked for. Being able to express ideas from a new stand point and see higher level actually interested makes you feel like you are part of the entire organisation and not just a number. Staff - I've never seen so many people motivated to work for a company and see people genuinely excited to work on a product that helps...

None that I can see so far. Maybe we could jazz up the Chester office a little!
Advice to Management
Invest in the staff at the company and keep the culture as it grows, the atmosphere of a small company can be lost very easily and its a huge bonus to working at EssentialSkillz.

Pros
Open an collaborative culture. Genuine desire to win and keep business by creating value for the customers.
Cons
None really. Being an SME there is limited scope for a major role change, but the rate of growth means opportunities will arise.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing. Introduce a holiday purchase scheme on salary sacrifice to allow top up of annual leave.

Pros
One of my colleagues added that this is like a big family, well that's exactly how I would put it, just great people to be around, a CEO who is not a name above a door but a friend to us all, makes this the perfect place to be oh and by the way, a fantastic product to add to this great company!
Cons
I would like to find one so that it doesn't look biased amongst us, but I really can't!
Advice to Management
Keep doing what your doing, it works!

Pros
A great company with great people and management team who understand the value in looking after their staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my time working at EssentialSkillz and resigned and left with a very heavy heart to take up a new position in another company that was just too good an opportunity to turn down. They are a small, very well run, financially stable forward thinking company who will continue to go from strength...
