Pros

Great range of interesting clients and subsequently interesting projects to work on in many fields. Great mix of people, we are an extremely diverse team in terms of age, cultures and backgrounds which is very interesting to me on a personal level however is invaluable to our business and clients. We enjoy a very open and collaborative working environment from graduates through to the MD there is pretty much an open door policy, from business issues to personal development queries we are encouraged to consult with our peers/superiors. We have the security of a large business with the culture of a small business, we all know (and like) each other and are quite free to be innovative whilst working, with freedom to get involved in other areas of the business within WRC as well as our large parent company. We're in the middle of a period of change at the moment so I enjoy knowing my ideas could maybe have a real impact on how the business moves forward. Non typical for our sector we don't get forced to work all the hours in the day some of us do chose to work out of hours but generally get the time back when it is a little quieter in the office.

Cons

Traffic can be quite bad on Mondays so it can sometimes prove a long commute potentially missing a parking space which can be quite hard to find if the little high street is really busy.

Alison Ettridge - Really pleased that you are enjoying your time with us. The team is great – diverse, fun and really open for change and the impact they can have on the business. We have a great client base who are also equally committed to their project teams – a real testament to the people we have and the fantastic work they deliver. Re parking – I wish I had an immediate solution. Perhaps we could implement a car share? Or more flexible hours on a Monday particularly? Thank you also for your advice – please keep communicating what you want and need from us to be a happy engaged workforce – the door is always open! Thanks for the review :-)

Pros

The most important thing for me is the projects that we work on are interesting and the clients that we work with are amazing companies. I feel like we work in partnership with them and provide a really high quality service that helps them deal with critical business decisions - not just about recruitment. For that reason, I can't imagine working anywhere else. Things are really improving now, so its worth sticking around. We are now much more of a team and everyone is feeling more positive.

Cons

Communication from the MD especially and wider leadership team needs to improve, but this is slowly happening. We have been through a lot of change and there has been some staff turnover. I think the people remaining are fantastic and actually we are better off without some of those that have left - for various reasons. The way that some of the changes have been made has not been great to be on the receiving end of (again mainly due to communication) but hopefully we are past most of that now.

Alison Ettridge - Thank you for your review – we’re working really hard on making communication better. The weekly email is back by popular demand with news from the offices & the practices and our performance against target. The monthly conference calls are still a work in progress, May’s I think was better, June’s will be better again. The leadership team is working on a new employee video that we think will really help us to feel like one team and the global picture continues to build. The offices should be feeling better and the white boards in each will soon hold all the details against our three strategic pillars for growth- absolutely because we know you all care. With reference to salaries – we’re on it! An external salary benchmarking project is nearly complete and we will then come back with a proper framework to overcome some of the historical challenges – as soon as we can – I promise! This team is passionate about research, passionate about our clients and delivers great results. And because of this team I can’t imagine working anywhere else- thanks for being an important part of the journey and of this fantastic team.
