Fast paced. No team effort. Rubbish wage for any other housekeeping work, more like deep cleaning so wage low. Needs better communication. Carrying too much heavy stuff

Honestly… one of the best companies I’ve worked at

Operations Manager (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 15 May 2022

Been here for a little while now and I’ve enjoyed it as much as when I first joined. Great company culture where they do believe in looking after staff. Open to feedback and the promote learning and development in many levels.Easy going company with a great ambition. The work can be fast paced and at points of the year stressful especially in summer.

Pros

Good company culture and work colleagues

Cons

Occasional evening and weekend work, On call everyday of week for emergencies a bit hard to switch off.

Toxic managers, low pay

Operations assistant (Former Employee) - Scotland - 13 April 2022

The worst management I’ve ever came across. I was belittled on a daily basis and was constantly reassured ‘that’s your job not mine’, when asking for simple advice and my job role didn’t entail what was being asked of me. Felt sick going into work having to deal with passive aggressive emails and angry managers over the most ridiculous situations. Didn’t feel going to HR was going to stay confidential or help the scenario. Would not advise to work for this company.

Good company, poor management

Assistant Manager (Current Employee) - Bournemouth, Dorset - 27 March 2022

The job is secure and lovely with the chance of promotions, but unskilled people can ruin it. There is no real communication between site teams and head office or regional managers. Only the site manager is linked to the higher managment and it’s a matter of luck if you get a good one (team-player, hard working and fair manager) or a bad one (coming late & leaving early, not appreciating or supporting the site team, poor managment over all etc.).

Progression opportunities but poor pay

Customer service advisor (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 11 March 2020

Progression opportunities but poor pay. Appeared to be moving more corporate in culture than people focused. If your looking for a change in career i'd still recommend this company
