Vantaggi

Colleagues are nice, team socials throughout the year.

Svantaggi

The company talks the talk when it comes to valuing their staff but all they actually care about is profit. Staff are ridiculously overworked and most are handling the workload of 2 or 3 people. Management say they don't have the budget to recruit new staff to ease the stress but they somehow keep finding money to buy other businesses. There's a massive disconnect between Senior Management and staff on the ground, which means they see everything through rose tinted glasses and don't understand how poor morale is (either that or they simply don't care). There is no support on offer - you can say you're struggling until you're blue in the face but no help is offered and nothing changes. Managers are promoted without any training so are ill-equipped to deal with issues that their teams face. There are a lot of people on the verge of breakdowns/burnout because of the selfish actions of management. If you want to feel valued and have a healthy work life balance then I'd strongly advise looking somewhere else.

Thank you for taking the time to write Radiant a review on Glassdoor. We are very sorry to hear this about your experience. We value all our current and former employee’s feedback as it’s important for us to hear what we are doing well and what we need to improve on. The culture at Radiant and the wellbeing of our people is our top priority. We have recently invested heavily in our internal communications strategy to ensure that there is open and two-way dialogue between management and our people, especially as the business grows. We hope that this will help identify where a member of the team feels overworked or unsupported. We recognise the need to continuously develop our management team and through our Training Academy, each line manager participates in a structured development plan, combined with receiving regular one-to-one coaching with a member of the People team to ensure that we are addressing all aspects of management, including mental health and work life balance. You’ve identified a number of areas where you feel we could improve, and we will hold a full investigation into your feedback and incorporate the findings to future strategies at Radiant.

Vantaggi

Good work life balance and staff allowed to work from home

Svantaggi

Disillusioned staff being overworked and fed BS from the top with communication carefully made to paint a completely different picture. Staff can see through spin no matter how happy and positive you try to make it look. Falseness shows and the culture isn’t as great as you claim it is. Told we are amazing as a company and that we will be buying loads of firms but stagnant for ages now and no expansion. It looks like top brass are so scared under private equity owners that costs are slashed everywhere to hide below average sales numbers. Good management people are consistently kicked out to save money and bonuses are painted as great but they are poor & lower than similar firms. And benefits aside from pension are the very bare minimum, given a poor platform & act like we should be greatful.

Your feedback is noted, and we are sorry to hear that your perception of Radiant and its business model is so negative. Like all businesses we have and continue to trade through challenging market conditions requiring at times a cautious approach to ensure the long-term success of the organisation and all its employees. Contrary to your views we believe our benefits package is highly competitive as evidenced for example by our full time holiday entitlement of 28 days and our health cash plan available to all employees. As a further example, our bonus schemes seek to recognise exemplary personal performance and where award criteria are not met through no fault of the employee (e.g. through prevailing market conditions) discretion is applied to ensure fair and equitable outcomes for all.

Vantaggi

Radiant is a positive and supportive place to work. Having read some of the recent reviews, I feel they do not fully reflect the broader experience across the organisation. While a small number of individuals may share those views, they are not representative of the majority. This is evidenced by the number of employees who have remained with the company for five years or more, which speaks to overall job satisfaction and engagement. As with any organisation, there are areas where improvements and efficiencies can be made. Encouragingly, these are being actively reviewed and addressed. Within the administrative function in particular, there are ongoing brainstorming sessions aimed at streamlining processes and ensuring that team members’ voices are heard and considered. I can confidently say that both the administration and paraplanning teams are supported by highly capable and approachable managers who provide clear guidance when needed. As these are the departments I work most closely with, I am well placed to offer this informed perspective. Overall, Radiant offers a strong working environment with genuine opportunities for professional growth and career progression. The staff, management team, and CEO are knowledgeable and committed, contributing to a well-run and forward-thinking organisation.

Svantaggi

All cons which could be discussed are currently being reviewed.
