Pros

Nothing much other than they do pay salary on time

Cons

Management have absolutely no idea of what staff do and refuse to listen or act to ideas. Staff are treated as a commodity, there is no appreciation we are human beings, with people working at least 12 hour days, with no reward. The company says all the right things about treating staff well, rewarding employees and paying them accordingly, reality is the exact opposite. Example: we conducted a whole team wide "day in the life of" excersise over the course of a month with very clear results. 3 years later nothing has been done to resolve the issues that EVERY member of staff identified. There is only a chance for career progression if you suck-up to the boss and have no self pride or ideas. If doesn't matter if you provide a detailed rationale and proof of concept, if management haven't thought of something themselves (which invariably is terrible) no action will be taken. Many staff are leaving right now as a result and I wouldn't be surprised if less than 10% remain from the start of the year. Simply a terrible place to work, stay away. If you want to be treated like an eraser - worked until you no longer exist, without any thanks - then join RS. If you value your sanity and want a career, literally go anywhere else.

Hello and thank you for your review of working with Resource Solutions, although I’m hugely disappointed with everything you’ve said. It’s been a challenging 18 months, and we have not always got everything right during the pandemic, but we have striven wherever possible to keep our people connected, engaged and supported. During that time our teams have earned fantastic client feedback and being named as finalists in multiple industry awards. We have so many ways for employees to engage directly with our senior leadership and to use their voice, both to raise concerns and to propose solutions. Our most recent employee engagement survey generated overwhelmingly positive feedback. We also have our EMEA Employee Engagement Group; ‘Virtual Visits’ with individual teams and our CEO; a wellness committee; and various other opportunities to engage with our global leadership team. Your feedback is disappointing but I do appreciate your honesty. However, I encourage you to come forward, engage in constructive discussion in any of our many forums, and be part of the solution. We are all part of RS and are all responsible for helping to make our business a great place to work. I’m personally very happy to have a candid and confidential conversation with you to understand the issues you raise and start working on solutions together. Please do email me on Kirsty.adams@resourcesolutions.com Kirsty Adams Chief People and Culture Officer

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
