Pros

The only good thing about the company is working from home, the flexibility.

Cons

The company is a mess with poor management, it is a chaos. They offer a "training" (I can't even say that it's a training, it's a expalnation or whatever it is), and the company expect the staffs to do everything on their own, even knowing that VAT can be very difficult. Their turnover is so high that great people are leaving the company for being so disorganized. Unfortunately the company talks about collaboration and compassion but in practice this doesn't exist, it's everyone for themselves, especially if you need a team leader, they basic don't respond to clients queries or even call the staff to see if they need help. Their quarter survey It's just so that employees think something will be done, but, nothing changes. It's a place I don't even recommend to my enemy

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our Company places a high level of importance on ensuring our staff are trained to a high level in terms of the relevant knowledge, skills and systems to enable them to deliver successfully within their respective roles. Training is a regular feature and we have a dedicated resource to focus on this area to ensure employees are adequately equipped to deal with their work. We encourage colleagues to provide feedback on any improvements that can be made to training and when feedback is given, the necessary adjustments are made to ensure the training style and content is relevant. In terms of our values, we do strive to use the values to guide our way of working both internally and externally. This does take constant practice and we do feel progress is made, for example, during our company wide meetings, the colleague-to-colleague recognition nominations are awarded to numerous colleagues across the business in the 2 values you’ve cited - collaboration and compassion - as well as the others - honesty, freedom and happiness. In relation to your feedback regarding (I assume) your Team Leader, I am sorry that you feel you have had this experience. I will discuss this with our Team Leaders, to ensure they take your feedback on board. We do encourage constructive feedback continually and to this end there is the ability to provide anonymous feedback through a dedicated internal feedback channel whilst employed within the business. We wish you all the very best for the future, and please be assured that your concerns have been heard.

Pros

SimplyVAT is a great place to work, the CEO Claire and management and so supportive and understanding. The work tirelessly to ensure you have all the tools to succeed. Every member of the company have always shown great character towards others, supporting everyone regardless of the matter is work related or something to do with personal life. There is always room for growth at simplyVAT and it’s always promoted by management, if there was an area which I personally needed extra training on, it was always provided which allowed me to grow. The CEO Claire is like no other, she is always ready to listen to suggestions and ideas whether it’s improving customer service or promoting more social ideas for team bonding. Her current vision of the company will allow SimplyVAT to truly reach for the stars! I’ve throughly enjoyed the last 3 years with SimpyVAT and it’s thanks to everyone which has allowed me to grow as a data analyst and reach the place I have today

Cons

Pay - through pay isn’t what some companies offer there are so many benefits such as Flex Time allowing you to take extra time off for overtime you have worked. With that being said, SimplyVAT are heading in the right direction and I’m sure that pay is going to change in the near future for the better.
