Hi, many thanks for taking time to write a review of your employment with Darwin Escapes - I'm sorry to hear it has not been a positive experience for you. I'm glad you could see the value in being able to use the parks across our brand for short stays and hope you'll continue to consider us for vacations in future.

Pros

I love working for Darwin. The team based at Thanet well are the best bunch of people I've ever worked alongside. I have full support from all my colleagues and there's nothing we can't sort. Company benefits including dental care and eye care are amazing! I regularly use company benefits to make my finances a lot easier to manage. The management teams across darwin are very supportive to other sites. I've had so many opportunities to get further qualifications and experience things I never thought I would. We have people from all over the country working at our park and we all bounce off each other so well.

Cons

Driving in the winter is terrifying as I have to drive country roads which aren't gritted and it's pitch black countryside.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear how much you've enjoyed working at Thanet Well and that you've found the team to be so supportive. Creating a positive environment where colleagues can work together, support one another and continue to develop is incredibly important to us, so it's wonderful to hear this reflected in your experience. We're also pleased that you've been able to make the most of our colleague benefits and development opportunities, and that you've felt supported not only by your local team but by colleagues across the wider business. We appreciate your comments regarding winter travel. While we can't control the weather or local road conditions, we understand the additional challenges this can bring and are grateful for the commitment shown by our teams during the winter months. Thank you again for your feedback, your advice, and for everything you contribute to Darwin Escapes.
