Pros

Sadly there isn’t any pros

Cons

You enjoy being micromanagent and being treated as if you’re worthless (by colleagues and management)? Flashbay is the perfect employer for you then! You get a warning if you’re 1 min late because the location is so bad and the public transport is awful but overtime does not get paid however apparently is expected. “Fancy” coffee machine and fresh fruit are great complementary things to keep people satisfied but are certainly not a benefit that should be stated in the job description. Being laid off during Covid is awful enough but Flashbay managed to top it all off by logging people out of their accounts while still working (10 mins before end of day) and then giving them a quick call to inform them they’re being let go. All the positive reviews on here are also fake - they actually paid employees to write these! If you have a tiny bit of self respect (and possibly backbone) do yourself a favour and keep looking! This may seem exaggerated but i have honestly never worked anywhere so toxic and controlling in my life.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us and I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your short time working at Flashbay. Your experience at Flashbay certainly does not represent the normal Flashbay experience and our high number of long term employees with 5+ years service are testament to that. I can assure you we don't 'fake' any of our reviews nor pay employees to post reviews - we very much encourage feedback from all employees throughout their employment. Unfortunately it does appear that your review is ‘exaggerated’ as no employee has received a warning for being late in well over a year which is long before you joined the Company. We value timely arrival at work as our customers value prompt service but we offer flexible arrival times which allow all employees to arrive within a 30 minute window each morning to allow for transport variability - to be late you’d have to be outside the 30 minute window, something that would rarely happen with proper planning. Even then, only a pattern of repeated lateness, not improved when addressed would result in a warning - something that would happen in most businesses. As you are aware your review is anonymous however based on your comments above, I have devised that at the time you were let go from Flashbay you were working remotely. In circumstances where a remote working employee has to be let go, it is our standard our standard procedure to simultaneously revoke access to company systems during the dismissal meeting - this is for security purposes and would have been explained to you in the meeting. We are sorry if this came as a shock to you, given the unusual circumstances we did our best to make this process as pain free as possible including offering support in finding a new role. We also revised the notice period given to multiple months so while active work came to an end in an unusually short timeframe financial support continued for a number of months beyond the period provided for in the employment contract. We appreciate this has been a challenging year for many reasons and wish you all of the best for the future. If you would like to continue the conversation please do contact us on hr.uk@flashbay.com and we are happy to discuss further.

Pros

Very quick interview process. Contract sent on the same day at the face to face interview.

Cons

Stupidly high expectation. 60+ emails and 30+ emails to be sent each day. 90% of employees to be dismissed within 6 months. 6 month standard probation. Team leaders treat everyone terribly, stealing clients and commission. I was working in one of the foreign teams and they treat everyone the same. The HR manager is even changed every 5/6 months. No one is to be trusted and there isn't any available support. I saw 2 people dismissed in my time being there, knowing my time would be soon. Ruthless to say the very least.
