proAV reviews about "pay"

Not knowing where your going to be

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 Company uses outdated software which is clunky and doubles the workload for everyone involved.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.

Some sites have terrible work cultures/micromanagers etc. Shifts can be awful - e.g. you may work 7am-4pm one day then 10am-7pm in completely different sites. I have heard horror stories of false promises of pay rises if you change notice period from 1 month to 3 (and then never get the pay rise) Pay disparity in FST team is large and companies actively discouraged pay transparency which is toxic. The company constantly brags about them winning new contracts and how big they’re growing but wages are stagnant and sometimes as technicians we feel undervalued. AV is massively male dominated and some sites have horrible male dominated cultures where you can hear unpleasant/offensive things. If you read you contract and push back - you can avoid getting screwed over. Work lift balance can suffer as shifts are irregular and long - especially if you have a long commute. No WFH possibilities. Benefits are bad - Aviva private health insurance, perkbox and 4% pension. No Cycle to Work, dental, no contribution matching

Lack of communication, workload impossible to manage, you are expected to do the job without any overtime payment. proAV does not value their employees at all. This has become even more apparent during the pandemic, with an unbelievable lack of support and flexibility. Such an old school mentality. No bonuses and what I find the most shocking is no matter the situation, there is no sick pay. They do not trust the employees and top management have no clue about what each department does.

Constant pressure to do more, You have to fight for a cost of living rise increase, so don't expect any review increase or bonus. Wish I had stayed at my last av company to be honest with you.. grass is not always greener Have been onsite with proav for a few years now, heading up a small team, proav just do not care that the team are struggling with inflation - no rises, no cost of living, just ignored.
