Pros

Working with a great team - experienced, intelligent and experts in their field of expertise. Warm, friendly atmosphere. Everyone knows your name. A fantastic reward package for a 'smallish' company, including: An enhanced holiday allowance of minimum 29 days plus 8 bank holidays. This increases after 5 and 10 years Pension – company contribution of 5% plus a 5% cash bonus for being in the scheme PRP for sales, and profit related company bonus Company paid Level 1 Healthshield membership for all employees Benefits that make your pay go further – Childcare vouchers; Give as you earn ; season ticket loans; cycle to work; subsidised parking; reduced Stagecoach bus passes Flexible working opportunities Enhanced maternity and paternity pay and a substantial special leave policy In-house holistic therapy and chiropody 'Free' Christmas party and summer bbq 'Free' tea and coffee ‘Special occasion’ goodies Sales awards Prospects Awards Employee of the Year Lots of opportunities to learn and develop in the role. No day is the same and we get the opportunity to work on many different projects.

Cons

Most people could earn a bit more money elsewhere, but when you look at the benefits available, you'd be hard pushed to find a 35 hour week and better package in today's market Progression 'up the ladder' can sometimes be a challenge and we have to accept that sometimes people will have to move on to get a better opportunity.

Pros

- Great friendly atmosphere with considerate and genuine people - My role in field sales offers a great degree of variety from making cold outbound calls to attending networking events and entertaining clients. - Once you have proven yourself a valuable, hard working team member you tend to be given a good level of autonomy. - The company has a great attitude towards flexibility and working families which is felt throughout the organisation.

Cons

- I feel the company lacks a bit of the drive to stay current and innovative. - Whilst the flexibility is a good thing, it can also be taken advantage of. - Communication and collaboration between the teams could be stronger. There is a great deal of talent which if collaboration was nurtured and encouraged could yield much better results for the company.

Thank you so much for these lovely comments. As you are aware, we have gone though a big review over the last 12 months and as we progress, hopefully some of your issues will be dealt with. Certainly, our IIP action plan will address some of these. You have quite rightly pointed out, we are a small company but we do take pride in our commitment to helping people learn develop and grow in their roles. Never more so in Sales, where a significant investment is made in learning opportunities. The People team would be delighted to discuss how we can make improvements to our plans, so feel free to pop up with a brew for a chat.

Thanks for the feedback. We pride ourselves in being supportive & giving people the opportunity to learn, develop and grow in their roles. It's nice to be recognised for it. We are a charity, which limits our ability to pay the big bucks, but our salary surveys put us as competitive in most fields. We try and compensate by offering a great benefit package including offerings that make salaries go further. We are also a 35 hour working week! Happy to chat further if you want to pop up and see us
