Totaljobs Group Reviews

Left to your own devices, a place of work for independent individuals that like to work in a team to hit company targets, lots of training on hand from different departments, good perks, only negative for me is coronavirus ended my journey there.

Pros

career development, win team lunches, holidays and bonuses

Cons

Coronavirus, the people that are supposed to help dont help you.

Toxic leadership, elitist, sales targets always changing last minute

Sales (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 17 September 2021

Company has massively gone downhill in the last 3 years. Middle management is being stripped out to take on directors to oversee directors. Many redundancies made in the last year but only sales and team leaders. German holding company have unrealistic expectations - UK businesses and customers operate very differently. Can't see a good future for this company which is a shame. The CEO comes from a different sector and seems pretty clueless.

Pros

Location, office, free fruit

Cons

Bad leadership, lad culture, lack of respect from senior management.

Do Not Work Here

Customer Service Consultant (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 10 February 2021

Had a lot of It issues whilst working from home got blamed for all of them by management! Had 2 monthly 1-1 both said I was doing great but then 2 days later I was told I wasn’t doing good and had made mistakes (although no feedback was given) Management was shocking, I was lied to on numerous occasions and made to feel like their inadequate IT department did everything they could although dell told them not to send the same laptop out yet they did 3 times.

Pros

Great people to work with (not management)

Cons

Management & IT department.

I will not be making any comments it's down to each individual how they feel working for a company as everyone's opinion is different so you will need to make you own decisions

Nice people, slow pace

Marketing Executive (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 24 September 2019

Although the people and work/life balance at Totaljobs are good, the pace of work is very slow and my personal experience with managers on my team was not good. Very specific ways of working for those who have been there a long time with little explanation of how to actually achieve this.

Fun, but in effective.

Head of Talent Development (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 10 September 2019

I was brought on the challenge the leadership team and to "shake things up". They didn't like this. What they wanted was a mouth piece to announce policies I didn't like this.

Great place to work but your, career is not base on your efforts but who you know!

Test Analyst (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 26 March 2018

It's an ok place to work, some very nice people, but progress is not very good and has a laddish culture. People find it hard to, relate to Managers, as it is a who you know/get on with the environment that allows you to prosper there.

Pros

Relaxed, and fun place to work

Cons

Middle management are fickle, At times do not take responsibility for their actions, If you do drink and go out then you want fit in!

Overall a great company

Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner (Former Employee) - London Bridge Station, Greater London - 16 January 2018

Wonderful work life balance. Some management managed with complete and erratic behaviour which overall made for an unhappy work experience. Apart from a particular individual, the wider business and management were wonderful.

many commission changes

Fun interesting work

Product manager (Current Employee) - London - 15 December 2016

I really enjoy working here - the challenges are fun, the colleagues are fun. It is a 9-5 culture, with flexible working and lots of annual leave, so its a good employer. The hardest part of the job is the work - some of the problems we work to solve are really tricky, which is also the most enjoyable part (I like a challenge). The blue fin office is pretty awesome - modern and well equipped, and with amazing views of the london skyline (its near tate modern, and lots of food places). Nice co-workers, interesting work. Recommended.

Energetic, happy and a productive environment

Customer Service Team Manager (Current Employee) - Manchester - 29 September 2015

A typical day for me would start with assigning work queues to members of my team. create and run reports on performance from the previous day/week. I would also deal with any escalated complaint within the business or externally. I have a fantastic team of 8 who all have their own strengths and weaknesses. The most enjoyable part of my role is managing my team. Dealing with any problems they may encounter in the role while supporting and developing them.
