Pros

There are no Pros I am afraid. The company is run by Harry Grinling where there are no bonuses or pay rises, no promotion prospects and everyone is kept on a 'freelancer' basis. They have no ability to motivate staff and morale is generally low due to the totally aggressive expectations to clients. This is simply exploitation of the workforce while the owners take the profits.

Cons

No recruiter is willing to put their clients forward for any position there as the payment is well below industry standard. This is a fact. You can clearly see there is a huge staff turnaround because people get frustrated after 6 months of working there and start to move on. They have had no new clients in the last few years and barely keep the ones they have like News UK and McCann Worldgroup. I am generally confused as to why there have been no other negative reviews considering the huge amount of people that have come and gone. The training for new staffers is non existent and they are expected to learn on the job which definitely reflects on the support given to the clients. This is not a grudge piece written in anger, just a sober analysis of a company that has employed some of the brightest minds and hard workers who have been thrown under the bus and moved on. If they retained their staff and genuinely cared about them they would have some of the largest media contracts in the UK and worldwide but alas they have a narrow minded view.

Pros

Support Partners is a great family run business to work for. There are lots of amazing projects to get stuck in on and opportunity to get involved in all aspects of the business. This has allowed me to grow and develop my skills in a way that would have been hard to at a large company. The owners are also very understanding of all the things that go on outside of work which is very rare to find!

Cons

It’s hard work but what job isn’t..

Pros

As a single mother, working full-time brings challenges. However, Support Partners is absolutely family-based and knows that family comes first. I don't ever feel worried when I have to take time for my kids or be sick. They understand we are humans and also have lives outside of work.

Cons

If you are not a hard worker, this may not be the place for you.
