Good colleagues, but management and workload issues persist - Anonymous employee Childrensalon Employee Review

Great place to work! Having spent several years at this company, I can confidently say it is an exceptionally positive place to work. Like any organisation, it has its critics—those quick to highlight flaws in management’s decisions. However, this is natural; identifying faults often comes more easily than recognising the effort involved. Despite challenges such as redundancies and restructuring, the company’s resilience and spirited culture remain strong. The management team is outstanding; even in the face of their own difficulties, they provide unwavering support, making our days more enjoyable—and the workplace continues to thrive with its humorous, lively atmosphere. Overall, I am grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have gained here.

Like any workplace, this company likely has its disadvantages; however, I appreciate the complimentary coffee, paid breaks, and weekends off. Support is available when required, and we share humorous moments as a team. As a diligent individual, I choose to focus on the advantages.

Great colleagues who work incredibly hard and genuinely support one another.

Poor leadership and a lack of clear strategic direction have contributed to repeated restructures, redundancies and continuing net losses. Those of us who remain are expected to manage increasingly high workloads with limited recognition and little to no opportunity for progression. Employee morale is very low and many employees are feeling no confidence in the company's future. The atmosphere across the business has become increasingly negative, and many are simply staying until they find an opportunity to leave.
