Pros

Non at all unless you like working on a strange farm and don’t expect a bonus or any benefits

Cons

No benefits above standard. Rubbish bonus with unrealistic company targets so they can keep the cash for themselves. If your face doesn’t fit in this cliquey family then it’s horrible.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. As you are no longer with us, I'd like to let you know that we'd welcome you to discuss all of your feedback directly with our CEO or HR team and we will take all of your feedback on board. If this is something you'd like to do, please do get in touch via CurveHR@thecurvegroup.co.uk. We really love our offices - yes they're on a farm which is quite unique but it's a lovely, tranquil environment envied by many of our clients when they visit! We invested in a big refresh project prior to re-opening the office after the last lockdown ended and everyone is delighted to be back in such a fresh space. We have also invested in providing a number of new benefits for our employees in recognition of the amazing work they've done, including an additional 5 days of holiday, an employee assistance programme and cycle to work scheme. In terms of our bonus schemes - we have a number of these in operation and are always looking to reward employees for their performance. As a medium-sized business, we are highly cognizant of balancing the need to retain a percentage of income in order to re-invest into further developing, enhancing and future-proofing the business, maintaining our reserves so that we can provide ongoing security for our teams and paying bonuses. We also don't want to drive the wrong behaviours by over-incentivising, therefore make sure our pay is fair and in line with market rates and experience and that as one team, we focus on delivering a quality service to all of our customers. Again, we'd very much welcome a direct conversation so do please get in touch.
