If you're a tradesman you'll be paid well, if you're labourer you'll be on barely over minimum wage, your wages rises over 4 years to 22k. Too many e learning courses to take in for the money, there is job security but if you're waiting to get a chance to learn a trade be prepared to wait your turn.

Pros

Pension

Cons

Poor pay for labourers

Fun place to work

Plumber (Current Employee) - South Yorkshire - 18 October 2022

Roll up roll up, come join the circus. Want to be underpaid? Sign right here... Job retention rates are abysmal, tradesmen on these rates? No wonder they're short staffed and can't attract skilled workers. Not to mention management ideas 🤦🏻‍♂️. Still happy with your new job description? Welcome to woke.

Most people are nice but management is poor

Group Accountant (Former Employee) - Blackburn, Lancashire - 24 September 2022

Management have massive egos. Can make juniors feel quite small leading people to feel unmotivated. There is a bullying culture which is not addressed as leadership do not want to deal with it and happy for juniors to leave. There is zero progression.

Best place I have ever worked

Customer Service (Current Employee) - Blackburn, Lancashire - 18 March 2022

Honestly could not praise the company enough I have never worked for such a supportive company. I have learnt so much in the past 6 months of being here its busy don't get me wrong but it's never boring and always something to do. If your looking for a supportive company and somewhere we're you feel valued and included then this is the company to work for.

Group Internal Communications Officer (Former Employee) - Wakefield - 24 February 2022

Cannot say anything positive about my experience working at THG, except for the friends I made and still have. So much potential but no-one seemed bothered.

Looking for a new job

Customer Service Advisor (Current Employee) - Blackburn, Lancashire - 4 February 2022

Get paid a good salary good office Blackburn but the job is shocking . The only time hear from any Management is for negative feedback or if something has gone wrong .In customer services we all work hard but never a well done from Management. It would be nice if they showed some effort and took a few calls when busy there are enough tram leaders do do this . Most people in customer services i know have had enough so expecting high staff leaving . Hoping to get a new job by spring .

Pros

Salary, Blackburn office

Cons

The job . Management

Fabulous place to work highly recommend

Customer Service Advisor (Current Employee) - Halifax, West Yorkshire - 14 December 2021

Training for Customer Service is intense but is to ensure we have the best possible knowledge to do the job. They go above and beyond to make sure staff are ok with constant assurance and praise, training to the max but it’s what you need to learn the ropes. Brilliant friendly team, light hearted and the staff have been there for years which is a good sign. Love it here!! Have customer service experience is my advice, you need to put the customer first and be the best.

Pros

Salary, health plan, pension, holidays, lovely offices

Cons

Only con is would prefer a 1 hour lunch but you do get 2 breaks one for 10 mins and one for 15 mins

Awful

Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Halifax - 24 August 2021

It’s a awful place to work, certain members of management are bullies. It’s unorganised and they do not take into account staffs thoughts and feelings despite asking for our opinions. If your face doesn’t fit be prepared to be miserable.

Pros

Rate of pay and benefits

Cons

Management and organisation

Challenging with good rewards

Manager (R&M) (Former Employee) - Calderdale, West Yorkshire - 20 March 2021

I worked in repairs for 13 years both on the tools and as a manager, thoroughly supportive company with plenty of opportunities for progression and enhancement, the down side are some of the long term staff who do not realise what decent perks and job security they have and who also would not survive in the private sector. A good place to work with plenty of support.

Pros

Annual leave, pension, sickness benefits

Cons

Can be long hours dependent on the role

Bog Standard

Electrician (Current Employee) - Rossendale, Lancashire - 3 November 2020

This place values its self on 'Together Team' but it is as far from together as you can get. Everyone's out to help themselves (Between functions even with the same trades) and step on you when ever they can so brown nose and get higher in the company. Jobs arrise for specific people to move up due to said browning of noses even tho they swear its not. Incompetent managers & work flow planners. Front line staff (Tradesmen) do nothing but winge and moan while always trying to catch you out to again brown nose instead of getting on with work. Un realistic time frames for jobs. They hold the odd team meetings where they tell you pretty much nothing and don't listen to criticism which is definitely needed, all it is, is management trying to make their jobs seem relevant while they are scratching their backside at home coming down on the trades to do more. All 'Procedures, policies, help & updates' are to benefit the office staff only. Trades are on the bottom of their shoe. Especially since corona hit the UK. The wage isn't to bad for the Locality of work and hours but could be better. The places of work let it down. 9/10 its a ses pit as no-one checks anymore even tho they employ people too.

Pros

Working Hours, Locality, Wage

Cons

Management, Logistics, Lack Of Progression

Avoid Newground CIC

Outdoor Instructor (Former Employee) - Blackburn, Lancashire - 11 June 2020

Officious, bureaucratic, incompetent HR who fail to follow their own policies and procedures whilst demanding complete compliance from employees. Senior management utterly unqualified and inexperienced in the work of the organisation including conservation/horticulture but clearly felt they could make up for this lack by adopting a don't mess with me attitude and throwing their weight around. 8 weeks tedious online induction consisting solely of modules and tests containing numerous errors, with regular emails from HR putting pressure on re the need to hit targets. Poor working environment (office space).

Pros

Working outside

Cons

No training/support for trainee role, snr management lack integrity and trustworthiness and behave in a cutthroat manner, staff are not valued and are expendable, terrible communication, working for Newground Together was a shocking experience.

Following relocation, to be told "Your child care is of no concern to me" put the tin hat on it

Housing Support Officer (Former Employee) - Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire - 16 March 2020

I won't trot out platitudes about the job. I will state that, I find office politics wearing - I'm incapable of ignoring inequality & matters that are, just, plain, wrong. However, assisting people & some fantastic team mates kept me going back. Yet, following an enforced relocation, to be informed, by management that, "Your child care is of no concern to me" - well... that put the tin hat on it!

Stressful!!

Works Planner (Current Employee) - Halifax - 1 February 2020

Staff are overworked and under immense pressure. KPI's are unrealistic and employees are treated like idiots while most of them have more intelligence and common sense than management.
