about company - Kitchen Operator Frive (formerly Lions Prep) Employee Review

Frive is a very friendly place to work. The CEO is always keen to chat and speaks to everyone no matter their department or level. Ideas are heard from everyone on creative subjects and ideas to build the business. There are monthly socials and the staff support each other in personal endeavours as well, for example a staff member starred in a theatre production so we all went along and cheered them on. From a work perspective I find there's room for creative ideas and people are rewarded for their contribution. I recently got a shout out in a monthly review and was given a gift card etc. They're building a great place to work and we're all excited to be a part of it. We work from home 3 days a week from the main office, if expenses are involved with capture days that's covered, the brand team are great to work with and the company is diverse. I'd recommend working here.

Onboarding for me personally was quite rushed and I had to adapt very quickly. However this was mostly because this was the first time they had a videographer join and they were in desperate need of video content and paid media assets. I was quite happy to get on with the job and integrate by doing. I could see how this might be intimidating to a junior member of staff but it certainly wasn't supported. Everyone always came to me with a smile on their face, even if there was another brief in hand.

I had a really positive experience throughout the recruitment process at Frive. I was given lots of information about the company, its direction and future plans, which made it easy to understand what they’re building and where they’re heading. Communication was excellent: I was kept informed at every stage, the process moved at a good pace, and HR followed up after each interview to gather my feedback, which I really appreciated. I’ve only been at the company for a few weeks, but onboarding has been great so far. Expectations for my first 30/60/90 days were clearly communicated and align exactly with what was discussed during the interview process. Everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming, and there’s a genuine sense that people care about the company’s success and want it to do well. Overall, it’s been a very encouraging start and I’m glad I joined.
