Betfred Head Office - Where dreams go to die - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Betfred

A strange, joyless, culture that cascades from the MD down. A culture based on suspicion and lack of trust of their employees, an approach which consequently informs all of their employment practices. The managerial style is the one of the mendacious workhouse owner and employment benefits are virtually non-existent. Employees are constantly demoralised, live in fear of their jobs and after a period of time, develop deadness in their eyes as they realise the sort of organisation they have entrusted with their careers. Betfred is predominantly run by old fashioned, ‘stick no carrot’ types who graduated from the vast retail estate. This painfully holds back the Digital side of the operation where fear of change and lack of faith in that area of gaming have left it in a state of stagnation. There is no room for creativity or enterprise to flourish and the retail old guard have installed unqualified retail antiquities to watch over the unwanted Digital baby. The only Digital professionals who flourish are managerial pygmies who tick the boxes of their retail overlords. Big name partners in the Digital space are often staggered at the lack of competence in senior areas of the Betfred Digital Operation. I urge anyone thinking of a career at the Betfred Birchwood Head Office to consider their sanity, dignity and long term prospects before committing to a role in this craven environment.
