Down hill rapidly - Recensione dipendente - Asministrative Assistant presso Whichrate

Less than 15 minutes drive. I'm close to the kitchen facilities?

Not a very nice place to work atall. The managers are unfriendly. Toxic fear culture and completely inflexible if your unwell and suffer from a health condition ( they will pull you up ). The pay is poor for the level of work, i struggle to pay my rent on below minimum wage. My husband and daughter see how unhappy I am working here and it has affected my health. The work life balance isn't good. Its fine for the managers to do as they please but if you have genuine childcare school issues they use that against you. They use your holiday entitlement to best fit them so you lose out. I keep my head down but its not easy. As a woman the 'banter' isn't funny but I wouldn't dare challenge it or I'd be fired. Its not nice to see genuine people pushed out of the office. I thought carework was stressful but id go back and take that if I could!

The only positive is the people, genuinely good people work here below management.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this work place categorically to anyone. No benefits, standard salary no other perks. No bank holidays, you work them all, also you have to use your own holiday to have christmas off (compulsory closure, you have no objection/say in this) so you lose a week of your holiday allowance, not great if you value your holiday time and like to travel. You are not allowed to be unhappy at any point, question any processes, or show up without a smile on your face - you will probably be pulled into a meeting and fired. (incredibly high turnover of staff, not many make it past probation) Massive negative affect on my wellbeing working here, lost sleep, became poorly, due to the pressure and constant uncertainty that any day, they could decide they want to get rid of you, as you see many people are shown the door, no matter how important and high delivering they are.
