Pros
- Colleagues are generally supportive and team oriented.
- The company has a strong brand and was previously well regarded as an employer.
Cons
- Minimal employee support during personal emergencies, with policies that feel inflexible and lacking in compassion when it matters most.
- Limited flexibility and support during urgent family emergencies, with policies that can result in loss of pay despite unforeseen circumstances.
- Very limited benefits overall, including low pension contributions, no meaningful perks, and restricted paid leave.
- Sick leave allowance is extremely low, which can place unnecessary pressure on employees to work when unwell.
- Heavy reliance on minimum wage structures, with pay increases that do not always reflect rising living costs or employee contribution.
- High staff turnover, suggesting ongoing issues with retention and employee satisfaction.
- A disconnect between the company’s “people-first” messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.
- Progression and reward structures feel unclear or limited, making long-term career growth difficult.
