Great place, great team - Manager Meantime (United Kingdom) Employee Review

Team was welcoming at first, job promised travel experience

Extremely poor and unprofessional experience that I would not recommend. The company has an extremely high rate of turnover as no one besides the owners had been there over a year, despite the company being around for 17 years. The position was advertised as entry level, but no onboarding or training was conducted. I believe they wanted someone with experience who would accept an entry level salary. My role was terminated with no official warning or clear reasoning. This was confusing for me, but I now see from other reviews that my experience was not unique. Work was not organized, professional, or taken seriously by employees, and I would not recommend that clients employ this company or that new hires accept positions here if they are looking to be trained.

I have worked at Meantime Communications for over 14 years, and although now on a very part-time freelance basis, the Company owners have always had my best interests in mind as employers. One thing has been their understanding for working parents. As a working mum, having the flexibility for school pick-ups and family commitments has made a big difference over the years. They nurture talent and believe in ongoing development through training and courses. Meantime as a company is a place to learn, grow, and build confidence within the PR industry. Its clients are worldwide across the air cargo, freight, and maritime sectors, making the work varied, exciting, and fast-paced. The company embraces modern technology and provides excellent office facilities.

Like any busy and growing business, it's not always plain sailing and after 14 years, I know that firsthand. Hard work, adaptability, and being a strong team player are definitely important. But for anyone who is motivated, willing to learn, and not afraid to work hard, it's a great place to find your feet in the world of PR.
