Chaotic place to work
Window fitter (Former Employee) - Wellingborough + Other counties throughout the country - 8 June 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedYeah your just a number at that place, no support for the fitting teams and the administration, Management changes as often as clothes and the right hand never knows what the left-hand is doing totally chaos

Good Pay and Bonus
Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Swansea - 13 May 2023
If you put 100% you will get 100%. Long work hours but you are self employee so you can say no. There is a lot of technical training, my manager is pretty good. We have a small team and everyone know everyone and everyone is very helpful.
Pros
Lots of training and good bonus if you hit the target
Cons
Can't think of any

Insights into Anglian Home Improvements
Areas for improvement
- Fair pay for job
- Trust in colleagues
- Sense of belonging
Good for existing staff, bad for new starters
Sales Rep (Former Employee) - South East - 10 April 2023
As a new sales rep for Anglian Home Improvements you are given the lowest value leads for months in order to prove you can sell before they even consider giving you anything better. While the people who have been there for years are given the pick of the leads and can earn good money, trying to make a decent living from the scraps that are left for new starters is virtually impossible. Leads are issued the day before and as you are officially self employed you have to be available every day for the leads unless you book time off which is just as hard as any employed job. You might have none, more often one, then two and in 6 months Ive had more than 2 only once or twice. With a target of a 20% conversion rate and the average commission for these low value leads being under £100 its hard to make even minimum wage. If you turn down leads you are punished by having leads withheld going forward. You also have to do meetings and training which are unpaid and a working day can be anything from 0-13 hours long to get everything done they expect of you.
Pros
Have some free time most day
Cons
Can be long days and low pay for time worked as new starter

Half bad half good
Foot Canvasser (Former Employee) - Newport, Newport - 6 March 2023
All the company cares about is hitting targets and pressuring people into having a quote. They give fake discounts constantly. They've come up with different strategies to convince people they need new windows. Long hours in places you don't know. Good thing is you seem to always have a good team and have good laughs

Not good to work for.
Team Leader (Former Employee) - Crawley - 21 July 2022
Management tell you that you will earn 9% of each appt made but it’s only 7% I started out as a foot can then was promoted to team leader. They will tell you anything to get you sucked in but never deliver the promises they say. Also took me ages to get my bonus from them.

Atrocious Employer, possibly the worst!
Sales Executive (Current Employee) - London - 12 June 2022
I have never as an employee been treated like this by anyone. Constant struggles with either not getting any appointments or having minimal time to prepare for an appointment. A team leader who knows nothing and tells you to work it out when you ask for information or support. And now, ignoring my calls and texts. Left me hanging with two kids to support.

Non productive place to work
Double Glazing Designer and Salesman (Former Employee) - Edinburgh - 12 June 2022
The company is a waste of your time/money for very little earnings. It is a self employed role and the management is useless and cannot even run a circus
