Poor management and Culture
Poor management and culture overall. Dealing with difficult situations/customers on a daily basis. No support from peers for new staff. Tradesmen come and go frequently and your left to deal with the repercussions. Departments do not communicate or take responsibility of issues.

Strongly avoid being employed by this company
There is a reason this company is ALWAYS advertising for people.You won’t make £1000 per week this is misleading. From the top down the culture is very poor you have no backing from your “manager” all’s they are looking to do is pay people the absolute minimum to maximise their profits.
