Don't be fooled by the 'Investors in People' badge - Anonymous employee Ellisons Employee Review

There is an awful culture within this business to drive people out on their probationary period or within the employer safety zone of 2 years (so employee has no rights). Staff turnover is incredibly high. In 2018 the company managed 4 people out of 1 department alone for reasons beyond the employees control. They have the accolade of Investors in People but there is no support or training so development is impossible. Decisions by the Directors and management are made without any consultation of the departments or with much thought regarding employee satisfaction or productivity. The Directors themselves often disagree with one another which makes following instruction very difficult and blame is often pushed onto junior team members. Typical owner led business where HR appear to just be carrying out the dirty work of the Directors who need to step back. It's a real shame as the staff are passionate about their jobs and the company but there's no trust. As a result it breeds a blame culture. Directors are bullies who are 'never wrong'!
