Busy Days, Good People

Pros

Very busy all the time, no or little free time which makes the days go fast. People are very friendly and easy to get along with, definitely the best thing about the place. Pay is reasonable and look to develop you where they can.

Cons

Location; impossible to get to without own transport. Minimal company benefits and working hours are very long

Thank you for your response. We aim to provide a welcoming environment where opportunities are encouraged. We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve. We have invested a lot in the last year into our HR department, increased employee benefits, putting a car pool in place to enable employees to get to work, as we do openly agree driving to work would be easier as the transport links are difficult.

Squeezing blood out of a rock

Pros

Pays on time and has some good benefits including discounts on AV brands. Middle management are really the stars of the business, workaholics and really nice people.

Cons

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 Company uses outdated software which is clunky and doubles the workload for everyone involved.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

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us, we appreciate your feedback. It is great to see that you valued the variety of benefits we offer, we are continuously reviewing our employee reward package to ensure it meets our employees needs. We take great pride in the fantastic team we have here so were pleased to hear that you were fortunate to have worked with some of our great team members. It was however disappointing to hear your feedback regarding the pressures on other employees and the expectations of new employees. We have recently introduced a new training platform to support our current team members as well as new starters. As a team we also work very closely with Line Managers to ensure that each department has an adequate amount of team members, this is reviewed regularly so that vacancies are filled as soon as possible. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive employer and work with all employees so that everyone can achieve a good work/life balance. With regards to the point raised around the sidewalks on the business park, although not something we can affect directly, we are delighted to confirm that these have been replaced across the business park meaning that moving between offices is a lot easier than before. Thank you again for your feedback

Pros

There are still really good people working for the company

Cons

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.

Pros

No real pros to speak of other than they pay me on time, Some of the other staff are good people - other managers are always trying to trick you into further workload.

Cons

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.
