Great Place to Work - Anonymous employee The Bike Club Employee Review

Benefits of the job were good

Leadership was questionable at times

- caring and understanding line management - always felt respected at a line management level and was always given allowances when needed - generous holiday allowance - lots of problems to solve so was a good place to learn and find creative solutions - opportunities for career progression and promoting from within were great - lots of talented and passionate people working there - cycle to work scheme

- continually takes advantage of employees good will to fill in management issues which led to pretty widespread loss of passion/ motivation, and bitterness - financially doesn't make sense as a business, riding on investor funding - poor senior leadership in terms of communication, company direction, transparency, responsibility to employees, responsibility to customers, decision making - some slightly toxic interdepartmental relations - no tangible pay scale or bonuses, pay increases were few and far between, even with promotions and good performance - management often felt quite two faced where you'd only receive positive feedback but only have negative outcomes - quite disorganised in that half the year would be spent doing nothing and half would be chaotic
