Pros

Nice people (below senior management)

Cons

As the review title states, when I left, morale was at an all-time low around the office. This seems to have been exacerbated hugely in the time since leaving. Directors who cannot make eye contact, are unpersonable at best and outright rude at worst. HR simply do not care. This wasn’t the case under previous management. An endless stream of broken promises, hybrid working removed with next to no notice. A massive shame as it used to be a brilliant place to work.

Haulfryn Group Response

We very much appreciate your feedback and we are happy to read that you find the team members nice. Your comment regarding low morale since you left seems to be a perception as feedback from other team members has been that morae has significantly improved. We are disappointed to read though that you don’t have a great experience with the directors and that you feel that HR do not care. On hybrid working, post Covid, we adapted hybrid working and gave team members as much flexibility as we can. However, the company felt the need to request everyone to come back full time in response to the feedback from the team members saying they are losing opportunities to build relationship especially with new team members. Enough notice was given to ensure everyone can prepare. However, after a couple of months and review of the return to the office 5 days a week, based again from the feedback from team members, we have gone back to hybrid working. We listen to our team members and try our best to ensure that they are comfortable and happy with their working arrangement while they help us meet our company goals. It was such a shame that you did not feel that way.

Pros

Pretty parks, some great teams there and good perks including discounted holidays, use of the gym and pool. Previous management we're brilliant and genuinely cared.

Cons

Nepotism is rambant, if you don't fit then you get the boot. Senior management are all from the same company and only promote their own "Friends". Laughable HR processes, no HR on park, senior management barely on parks and so do not have their finger on the pulse and couldn't care either, staff turn over is too high to care. No formal training or career development offered or given, Bonus scheme is nonsense, I never had one. If you work there and your asked to train the team and carry some complete numpties on what you do, get your CV up to date!

Pros

only thing that was good was the cheaper holidays

Cons

Genuinely one of the worst places to work. Management talk behind your back all the time ESPECIALLY with the chefs which makes you feel super uncomfortable and make snide jokes about you. There is no work life balance at all and frankly they do not care about it or you. Management would prefer to just sit outside smoking or sat on the computer doing nothing than help during busy times. if you don't lick the boots of management and their pets, I would suggest running. Its also full of inbreeding
