Vantaggi

Great staff from line managers and below only Lovely office space

Svantaggi

CEO claims to be this inspirational character on LinkedIn yet he makes racial slurs and treats his staff with no respect at all. His right hand man and chief of staff is just as bad, he’s a bully and has no respect for all staff, this is because he’s treated in the same way by the CEO so decides to behave like this himself, he has a serious power trip to all staff below him just to feel better about himself, it’s really insecure behaviour. No flexibility in the company. Made to feel like you’re not good enough and the company is doing you a favour All staff completely drained and demotivated No core value or respect for employees

Vantaggi

Nothing significant to highlight here. Good and bad,

Svantaggi

The company tried to look supportive on the surface, but once you were actually in the role, the cracks showed fast. The team was collaborative enough, but the expectations kept shifting and the “manageable workload” only stayed manageable because most of the tasks were the same repetitive admin work every day. I picked up some office skills and got pulled into different departments, but none of it led anywhere because there’s basically no real advancement in admin roles. And whenever priorities changed, which was often, the direction became vague, leaving everyone guessing what actually mattered. It was frustrating to feel stuck and constantly trying to make sense of unclear guidance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly around clarity of direction and progression opportunities. While we recognise that priorities can evolve in a growing business, we do not aim for colleagues to feel uncertain or unsupported in their roles. We also appreciate your comments on workload and development. While some administrative roles naturally involve routine tasks, we strive to provide broader learning opportunities and clearer progression pathways. We’re sorry this wasn’t reflected in your experience. At the same time, we aim to ensure expectations are communicated clearly and that changes in priorities are supported with appropriate guidance. Your feedback highlights that we need to continue strengthening consistency in these areas. We encourage open and constructive dialogue and provide a range of channels for colleagues to raise concerns, including confidential routes and direct access to HR. If you would be open to discussing your feedback further, please contact us at HR@1stformations.co.uk. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
