Velstar Reviews

One of the major issues I've encountered at Velstar is the lack of care for their employees. Velstar tried to improve employee wellbeing by conducting an employee survey back in Autumn 2023. You could either answer this anonymously or with your name included. I chose to include my name and position so my concerns could be identified and solved. However, I was completely ignored. Months later, after still being ignored, I raised the same concerns with the SLT directly, and once again I was ignored. Completely ghosted to the point where they didn’t speak to me for the entirety of my notice period. There’s this facade that they’re all about the people, but the truth is they’re not. There has been cases of employees being harassed by other members of the team and the higher ups doing nothing about it. The matter of fact is they only care about you if you’re at director level. Velstar claim to have an “open door” policy but it’s worth noting that during my 2 years and 3 months at Velstar, I did not once speak with the CEO. No introduction when I first joined, they weren’t involved in any onboard, any of my probation meetings, and not once did they even bother to get to know me. Not even a single Slack message. I don’t even think they knew my name.

- No cons to note.
