Pros

Good share incentive programme monthly

Cons

recent furlough system brought in from Feb 2021 has seen part time working mothers discriminated against. All full time customer service staff brought down to a 3 day working week which included single males living with parents, employees living with no children, mothers whose children are at school everyday etc An option to apply was not given to anyone. Part time working mothers who work part time due to having young children not at school being told that it was more fairer this time as everyone was getting an opportunity at reduced hours. Part time staff did not get an opportunity to reduce their hours, they fulfil their own full hours and continue to struggle through each day with children at home whilst people who have no children continue with their free days off. This in my humble opinion is very, very unfair.

Hello and thanks for sharing your views with us. With restrictions still in place across the island of Ireland, many of our sales channels remain closed, and we took the difficult decision to furlough or grand paid absence to some of our employees. The decision was made based on an assessment of the resources needed within the business. We considered the mental health and wellbeing of our teams and the frustration that many of our people feel at not being at full capacity, as they would like to be. Where possible, we implemented a reduced working week, to ensure our employees could remain connected to the business and also manage the demands of childcare and other personal needs. This is a temporary arrangement. All our employees remain on our payroll and will return to full working hours at the earliest opportunity. We would like to suggest that you raise your unique circumstances with your line manager, who will assess if flexible working arrangements could be considered for the coming weeks to help you manage the demands of home life. Thanks again for sharing your views with us.
