Pros

Meeting new clients, interacting with different people, organising events (with low budget not fun), working alongside another front of house, making friends.

Cons

Micro managed by managers, managers too young, former Abercrombie managers (narrow minded and hard to work with), Front of house are not listened to. Higher management have too close of a relationship to line managers there for when you have a issue with your manager you have no one to go to.. Bad atmosphere, fake people, not a nice place to work. 60 percent of Front of House agree. CEO's have not idea what goes on behind the scenes in the buildings...

We enjoy high levels of employee engagement and last year 86% of TOGGERS said they were proud to work for us. But these numbers mean little if we don't fulfil the promise we make to new starters that they've joined a like no other place to work. We know we need to attract and retain the very best managers because without them we lose great people like you. We are focused on getting this right in every corner of TOG. Good luck in the future.

Pros

- 28 days holiday is literally it

Cons

- Zero flexibility in working location. Working style is masked as hybrid but is in-office, with a token Friday to work elsewhere BUT if you have a day off M-Th, you must work in office on Friday - Employees are tracked coming into the office and pulled up by HR and senior leadership if they have not physically come into head office on one singular day of the week they were intending to - Favouritism from senior management to certain members of staff, with bullying and negativity towards others within the department, and redundancies for those who really aren't favoured - Little to no support from senior peers (including HR) when issues have been raised - Extremely uncollaborative, back-stabbing environment within the department and when working with certain other departments - Very critical day-to-day culture, which makes you feel like you constantly have to defend yourself and the decisions you make - Snakes within certain departments who listen into colleagues conversations and report everything and anything upward to their managers - Zero room to grow or up-skill (unless you score a 4 or 5/5 in your annual review you are not allowed to have any paid training from the company?) - Zero career path for anyone. Promotions are based on individuals and their managers, so if you are not in favour with your manager there's zero chance of ever progressing - All of the above masked with a fancy bread station which was promoted c. 4 times in email communications by senior leadership / the CEO - CEO lives in a dream land and thinks everyone loves working at head office, but people are dropping like flies across the entire business because it's a miserable place to work
