Pros

Little positive to speak of, a few nice people to work with but completely outweighed by dispiriting and incompetent middle and senior management.

Cons

Dispiriting and disheartening middle management which filters down to staff. No room for careers progression and severe lack of encouragement from managers. Left the business as soon as I realised that the staff were not valued. No pay rises for three consecutive year-ends.

Thank you for posting your review. We take yours and all ex-employee feedback very seriously and use it continuously improve the way we operate. We are disappointed to read this posting, especially since we take employee morale and development very seriously. It must be said that we have not had a round of annual-pay freezes in recent times, so this leaves us wondering whether you have posted this review to the correct employer?

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, although it’s tough to read this type of feedback. We note that you're residing in the United States and as we are a UK based business wonder whether you have perhaps posted this review mistakenly to the wrong company (we know from old that others in the past have done so as there is a company by the same name based in the USA).
