Pros

Training, development, office support / customer services.

Cons

I worked here for about 5 years and initially the culture was great, had that family feel to it, but this was due to a great CEO. Unfortunately he was replaced by a poor CEO who was out to prove himself by artificially making the business look in growth, by cutting costs. You would think you would have some job security working for a large company, but they frequently make "restructuring" decisions which coincidentally coincided with the appointment of some new senior manager looking to shake things up and subsequently mass redundancies (regardless of performance) they do regular appraisals and I was always on the outstanding bracket, but yet still made redundant? Its also a bit of a boys club, if you can stay out drinking and socialising until the early hours of the morning then your in the running for career progression. They also now have trackers on the cars, so that should give you an indication of how much they trust that you are doing your job. But keep in mind that they now have a new CEO who by all accounts is excellent.

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that your experience with Bristan was not as positive as we would have hoped. Unfortunately, to ensure we continue to provide the level of service our customers require and maintain our industry leading position, decisions regarding the deployment of our teams will occasionally need to be made. Unfortunately, as with all organisations, this will occasionally result in redundancy. We can assure you that these decisions are considered extremely carefully, and fair and proper processes are in place to support any member of our team that may be affected. We are sorry that this process affected you. Throughout any redundancy process decisions to select will be based on a viable business reason and will not be reflective of personal performance. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further at a time and location to suit you so we can ensure your concerns are addressed. Should you wish to discuss this further with us, please do contact HR@Bristan.com.
