Evans Cycles

Acquired by Sports Direct

Is this your company?

Is this the lowest star rating?! One of the most vindictive companies I have ever had the misfortune to work for. - Shop Floor Assistant Evans Cycles Employee Review

Pros

Very, very occasionally getting crumbs from the king's table, and speaking to customers about cycling.

Cons

The list is so long it's difficult to know where to start... The pay is minimum wage. Bonuses are based on your performance that the company does everything possible to minimise. Other benefits are not available to all employees. Besides, the company is too busy being nasty to be generous. Shop managers are specially selected to be as spiteful and childish as possible. They also encourage others to spy on you, making it difficult for you to do your job properly. Amazingly, and despite this, the deliberately made poor and down-trodden, assistants still try and give the best service possible, even though the company continues to try to break their spirits and ensure morale is as low as it can get. From a minority? Expect special treatment! You will be punished for it. And if you complain you will be punished again and again and again. As you can see, this is a truly awful company that's far too busy being hateful and hurtful to its employees to realise cherishing them MIGHT just improve the company's profits.

I am sorry to hear that this is the way you feel about your experience with us as we take our values incredibly seriously. We are working hard to introduce new initiatives & programmes that will ensure people are happy with us & fulfilled in their roles. Clearly this is not the experience that you are having & I am very concerned by this. The only way we can support you is if you contact myself or one of my HR colleagues directly so that we can work this through with you. We hope to hear from you soon.
