Pros

Flexible working isn’t just a ‘fad’ or something to entice people in - it’s actively encouraged and helps us manage our work life balance fairly. No job is perfect, but having this flexibility to fit work around my life (and not the other way round) means that the job is almost perfect for me! My team is great - I’m proud to call them not only teammates but friends and we all pull together to get the job done Career progression opportunities are great too - for example the ATP talent progression programme which anyone can apply for. I’m looking forward to joining the next cohort for this programme. Spacious and well equipped offices make the days when I’m working in the office a pleasure. I tend to do 2 days a week in the office and little touches like free breakfast and free drinks make it even nicer. The business constantly asks for feedback and I feel the results of this are always looked into (if not actioned where applicable), I get the sense they are always striving to make Bromford a great place to work. People are very quick to leave negative reviews, but I personally love working for Bromford. Yes there are pros and cons (as there will be with any job), but I truly feel Bromford have my best interests at heart. Bromford are very fair to its employees and customers and I think you’d be hard pushed to find an employer as flexible and as forward thinking as Bromford, I have never been in a company with these kind of benefits and I genuinely think we are looked after really well.

Cons

Parking can sometimes be an issue at offices The new system implementation could have been smoother but show me any business that has done this without a few hiccups and I’ll eat my hat!

Pros

In general the people who work here are great and help each other and want to make a difference. The aims of the organisation sound great and draw you in to feel like you can be yourself and have your say, the reality is very different.

Cons

In customer experience the senior leadership is top down, restrictive and bullying. When issues and concerns are raised even from within leadership roles these are swept under the carpet. If you question decisions or aren't a yes person you are described as negative even if you do this in a constructive way. There is also a sense of you get roles if your face fits

Thank you for posting your review, we're sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you. Lots of what you raise point towards the fact there has been so much change at Bromford - which can feel uncomfortable and unsettling for colleagues. We have, and are continuing to, put lots of support in place for teams, individuals and leaders, and our transformation programme is now well underway; helping us align our services and improve how we do things. Wishing you all the best for the future.
