Pros

- Nice environment & friendly people to work with - Nice office, cool location, nice features in the office e.g table tennis & coffee machine - Lots of learning & working with other departments closely - Young company, hence lots of opportunities to grow and work on different projects

Cons

- Difficult to communicate about work related issues in-house - Difficult to communicate about personal issues - Difficult to provide feedback to management & senior management - Pressure to work overtime - Favouritism & nepotism a factor - Self development isn't valued as much - Personally in customer experience, you feel quite left out and not as important as the other departments. I believe this is mainly due to the fact that you have less of an impact towards the company. You are put under pressure to come up with a resolution to any problems you present to senior management, which is quite difficult to balance when you're working against SLA's.

Thank you for your comments. I’d like to take this opportunity to address your points, as we take feedback seriously here at One Retail Group. We are pleased that you enjoy the work environment and the team at 1RG. As you have mentioned, there are lots of opportunities to grow with the business, and this is led by our values of progressing our star talent. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be fed back to the wider team. We are sad to hear that you don’t feel you have been able to provide feedback to management. We strive to provide all team members with the forum to discuss concerns with various managers across the business and although we feel we have provided this support, we apologise if we have fallen short of your expectation. 1RG focuses heavily on work-life balance, as such we intend on establishing if this is an issue with other team members within an upcoming team engagement survey. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Occasionally we ask team members to use their creative juices to problem solve before escalating to department leads. We feel this is the right approach and we will continue to provide the required support to individuals, so they feel empowered to make decisions / judgement calls moving forward. Regarding favouritism, although we don’t feel this is a true reflection of our values, we can understand that within the team you worked in, there were various promotions which occurred and as such, may have felt that you hadn’t had the opportunity to progress. We work with our high performers to progress into new roles, and in some instances certain team members progress faster than others. As previously mentioned, we take feedback seriously and with the introduction of a ‘People team’ within the business, the areas you have raised will be looked into. We wish you all the best for the future.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. On behalf of the Senior Leadership Team at One Retail Group, I am sorry to read that you feel negatively about working with us. I’d like to respond to each of your points in turn, as we value employee feedback a lot. Last year we introduced new benefits, informed by an employee survey completed at the end of 2021. We currently offer healthcare (inclusive of dental and mental health support), an additional day off to celebrate your birthday, increased pension contributions, regular team socials, office perks such as weekly fruit and bagels and a cycle to work scheme, and we’ll continue to review these. While we are a growing team and trying to achieve a lot, we’re conscious that our team need to prioritise their wellbeing and encourage them to do so. It’s good to see that you don’t find your work too stressful as a result! We invested in management training for our team leads and our aspiring leaders to help them develop as people managers for their teams. We’ve also recently changed the structure of our management team to better support us. I’d like to assure you that all of our employees have the utmost respect of our Management and Senior Leadership Team; without our employees we wouldn’t be where we are today. I note that you are a current employee and would like to encourage you to speak with me so that I can discuss your experience further and help improve it.
