Pros

- I've got a genuinely supportive manager who backs me and makes space for me to do good work and grow. - The wider operations and field team is brilliant and a real pleasure to be part of. There's a real kindness running through all the other teams too, which makes everyday work feel easy and human. - I feel part of something important and that my work benefits people across the business. - The culture, recognition, and benefits have all been steadily improving since I joined, so it feels like a company that listens and actually acts. There is a growing sense of camaraderie across all business functions as the business grows and new experts join the team.

Cons

Moving from start-up to scale-up always comes with some growing pains and the business has big aspirations! - Communication across the Support Centre could be even more joined up, so everyone always feels in the loop whether they are based in London or Rye. - From an operations point of view, the biggest opportunity is in the tools. A lot of reporting and admin is still quite manual, and getting numbers from one system to talk to another takes more effort than it should. However, this is being addressed across the year with the introduction of new systems.

Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working at Knoops. The people are a real standout supportive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which creates a great working atmosphere day to day. There’s a strong sense that the business is growing, with exciting projects and new ideas coming through regularly, which keeps things interesting and makes it feel like you’re part of something evolving. I’ve also really valued the level of flexibility, which makes it easier to maintain a good work life balance and feel trusted in your role.

Cons

In terms of downsides, benefits outside of the day-to-day perks are fairly limited. While the free drinks are a nice touch, there isn’t a particularly extensive benefits package compared to some other companies, which could be improved as the business continues to grow.

Pros

- Great autonomy as Store Manager to shape store operations and team dynamics. - Strong supportive culture from both head office and team members. - Clear opportunities to develop management skills and grow within the brand. - Engaging work environment that keeps every shift interesting and rewarding. - High-quality products and brand reputation make customer interactions positive.

Cons

- Opening shifts are quite long, which can feel challenging if you’re not accustomed to early starts or extended opening hours. - Labour allocation is kept tight, though there’s flexibility to increase staffing levels during peak trading periods. Honestly, there are no major downsides to note just small operational points that are manageable.
