A really important point to make firstly on here... If you genuinely are a current staff member please please have a chat with your line manger or hr if this is seriously the way you feel about the company and the flock! We do not want you to feel this way, and would love to have a chat with you about this in more detail. We only work a 35.25 hour working week at Black Sheep and rarely ask anyone to stay on beyond their working hours, so yes if you are late the system will record this and your pay deducted accordingly. This is all explained upfront in our staff handbook. We are a voluntary Real Living Wage employer, this means that everyone earns above not only the NMW but a Real Living Wage as calculated by the Living Wage Foundation. Commission is uncapped for the role you describe and the starting basic is generous and benchmarked against a competitive market, it is over and above the Living Wage commitment. Your financial wellbeing is important to us, if you are struggling financially please remember the EAP can confidentially advise you on range of financial matters. We provided free refreshments to our staff so that you can spend your cash on something more exciting then a slice of cheese and ham! This review also seems to be slightly outdated as anyone reading should be aware we currently only offer drinks due to strict hygiene measures in place since March 20 due to COVID-19.

Pros

Free food and good training

Cons

Extremely micromanaged, everyone’s a bit all over the place as the ceo is constantly changing his mind how he wants everyone to work, you would very often see staff crying and also management either crying or being screamed at by the ceo, people would quit every day, the job is made a lot more difficult by how much they harass you, I would strongly advise against getting a job here, the money is okay, but you could find a job with much nicer people for the same pay
