      Pros

      Nice people to work with Benefits such as £15 contribution to the gym is good and fair amount of holidays No weekend work

      Cons

      Micromanagement from higher up, feeling like your under surveillance and not being recognised for hard work. Very favoritist in who is rewarded and the managers are quick to jump the gun and not listen to your point of view if there has been an issue or you have previously highlighted a problem. No training and slow software issues daily meaning frequent client complaints. Progression is available in SOME departments but they would rather promote externally than internally unless you are friends with managers, this has been the case for several people going for different internal jobs. Salary is avarage but don't expect an increase for a long time. If you have an issue/idea/suggestion you can voice it but it is unlikely to be heard or make a difference.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We genuinely value all feedback and aim to take it on board. We are currently developing all of our managers and consistently review our performance via our colleague survey. We are working hard amongst the Senior Leadership Team to ensure we have a consistent and fair approach and it's positive to hear that you have experience of great management too. If you do not feel you can speak to your manager, I would encourage you to escalate any issues/ideas you have via your manager's manager or to the HR Team.

      Pros

      Career opportunities are good. Salaries are decent. There are some nice individuals within the business.

      Cons

      Awful, awful dictatorship style management from the top down. Massive labour turnover. An utterly ridiculously political environment. Some leaders in the business are more concerned with escalating their own image and financial worth within the business and they are happy to use you as cannon fodder. Lied to, on a number of occasions. Told there would be a secure job for us after restructures, only to find out some of our jobs had already been recruited for and then individuals previously told there would be a place for them at WN have then been made redundant. They literally couldn't care less about your wellbeing if they tried... They have just launched a wellbeing charter - which would be great. However on recent group meetings there has even been ridiculous things like a 'car park hierarchy' where the senior people in the business get to park closer to the door, and the minions have to park further down the car park. Awful, awful, awful, toxic and damaging environment.

      Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We're so sorry to hear of your experiences and can assure you that a great deal of work has been carried out recently to set the foundation for a positive culture within WorkNest, including the articulation of our Values and holding people to account if they are not aligned to these. We are also progressing our leadership development and I can assure you that no such hierarchy exists today. Thank you for your contribution and we wish you well in your future plans.
