      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased you had positive experiences with our people, products, and benefitted from our reputation in the market. We recognise the past year has been challenging for many in sales, and we’re continually reviewing our structure and support to help manage workloads and targets more effectively. We’ve also made recent improvements to our induction/onboarding process, ensuring new colleagues feel well prepared from day one (albiet this is constantly under review with an eye on further refinements and improvements). Thank you again for your contribution and for the constructive suggestions. We wish you every success for the future.

      Poor management!!

      Warehouse operative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There’s progression if you work hard

      Cons

      Harsh/strick rules, very rude staff which make it hard to get on with and do your job. I get on well with everyone I work with but at this place I felt bullied because I was slightly different from the rest. I got spoken to like crap on a regular basis which made it very difficult as well

      Value, you won’t get it here!

      Sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is none unfortunately, I would like to be fair when commenting about an employer but there isn’t any pro’s to working for this employer. They will crap on you and forget about you!

      Cons

      Everything! Unless you are in the management click, unless your a favourite you will do okay, otherwise they will move the goal post and expect you to take it.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience. We want everyone at Macfarlane to feel valued and supported, and it’s disappointing to hear that hasn’t been your perception. We’re continuously working to strengthen communication, recognition, and consistency across our teams, and feedback from colleagues plays an important role in helping us do that. We appreciate your ongoing contribution and would encourage you to raise any specific concerns through your line manager or HR team so that we can address them directly.
