      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Good work-life balance. -Hybrid working policy with two days working from home. -Positive social initiatives, including the annual summer party. -Generally supportive colleagues

      Cons

      -Salaries are significantly below market rates and are a major concern for employee retention and morale. -Lack of organisational structure, resulting in unclear processes and inconsistent decision-making. -Weak leadership and management, with insufficient direction, accountability, and long-term planning. -High staff turnover and limited retention of experienced employees. -The company's focus appears to be on short-term survival rather than sustainable growth, innovation, or investment in its people. -Limited opportunities for career progression and professional development.

      Poor management communication and low pay

      Event manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Friendly and supportive colleagues make day-to-day work enjoyable.

      Cons

      Poor communication from management and leadership. Very few clear processes, meaning people often make things up as they go along. The company is so large that it can feel like nobody really takes ownership or cares about the success of individual brands. Outdated ways of working across the business. Old systems and slow IT support that make simple tasks more difficult than they need to be. Low salaries compared to similar roles elsewhere. Struggles to attract and keep good people because pay and progression aren't competitive. High staff turnover means teams are often stretched and valuable knowledge is lost. Change happens very slowly (if at all), even when problems are obvious.
