Business Outlook

Pros

The cultural interview they perform ensures everyone you work with at AND are genuinely nice people. There is a strong social culture and the clubhouses are nice environments.

Cons

They preach a 'people first' company identity but several times actions taken by the senior leadership have directly contradicted this. Over-hiring in pursuit of ambitious BHAGs has directly led to several of my co-workers to be made redundant. This could have been avoided if AND's business model didn't simply only exist on constant growth. Whilst the company ambition could be praised, it backfiring and directly leading to 240 people being made redundant is unfair and their foolishness has directly affected people's lives. I do not expect this to be the last round of redundancies and due to them circumventing the group consultation process, they are legally allowed to start making more people redundant 90 days from when they are finalised. As a result I am very concerned for my own job now too. Additionally, the CEO choosing to end partnerships with a prominent LGBT charity with no justifiable reason caused outrage amongst the workforce. Even after several-hundreds of staff signed a petition to have this reinstated, they refused to do so. AND preaches about giving everyone 'a seat at the table' and whilst a couple of years ago they definitely did, that is now no longer the case.

AND Digital Response

We're so sorry to be having to go through a redundancy process - it's the last thing we wanted to do and we certainly don't want to be doing it again. For those reading this, the process has affected about half our UK clubs, with those affected clubs each needing to reduce their costs by the equivalent of 15-19 roles. It's been a really difficult thing to go through - especially those that have been at risk of course, but also for ANDis who are saying 'good-bye' to colleagues and friends. The whole purpose of the process has been to get on a more stable footing and to bring back the full ANDi experience. Also, just for clarity, our UK board received a proposal to become affiliated with a LGBT charity, rather than ending an existing partnership.
