Pros

There were opportunities to collaborate and work alongside dedicated individuals within FJR. These interactions allowed for professional growth and fostered valuable connections but all the individuals have now left!!

Cons

Lack of Transparency: One of the primary concerns is the apparent lack of transparency demonstrated by the owner. Important information regarding the company's financial health and stability is seemingly withheld from staff members, creating an environment of uncertainty and unease. Financial Instability: Suppliers not receiving consistent and timely payments, as highlighted by persistent calls to the office, has become an embarrassing issue. This situation was further exacerbated when a third party openly named and criticised the owner and FJR on a professional platform for failing to settle invoices. Think we all saw the recent post on LinkedIn when a rec 2 rec named and shamed FJR for not paying their invoice!! These financial struggles raise questions about the company's viability and the potential impact on regular employee remuneration. Neglected Investment and Mismanagement: It has come to light that the owner has consistently prioritised personal monetary gain over reinvesting in the company. This long-standing practice has now led to a substantial accumulation of debts, which has put the future stability of the organisation in question. Concerns are raised about the ability to meet payroll obligations, with contractors already facing difficulties in receiving timely payments. Lack of Accountability: Certain members of the staff appear to be disengaged, often choosing personal indulgences over fulfilling their work responsibilities. This includes frequent mid-morning Greggs runs, extended lunches, and shopping excursions during work hours. The owners apparent indifference to this behaviour suggests a lack of oversight and accountability within the organisation.

FJR Group Response

Thanks for the review, a lot has changed since you have moved on. As alluded to there was a danger of a toxic culture / boys club which had been reference last year, taking over thankfully most of those individuals including the "Greggs Crew" have left. There is a however a narrative much of which is in the above that is not correct and has been embellished, then enhanced and repeated. We are getting back to what the business was for the best part of 12 / 13 years one with an open spirit of adventure. A clear decline which started in early 2022 as we changed the management structure which can be evidenced in the glassdoor trends. Again this leadership group has changed and whilst we cant undo the last 15 months moving forward we can focus on a positive collective culture with genuine desire to grow a positive inclusive business.
