      Pros

      Most of the people within the marketing team (with the exception of one, two including the top of the marketing chain) were amazing and I've made some fantastic, lasting friendships.

      Cons

      The lack of trust and micromanagement from the top of the marketing tree and owners is suffocating. Said people literally don’t know whether they are coming or going and you will receive a different answer to the same question/s on a regular basis and never any clear instructions for anything, ever. The strategy for pieces of work and projects changes by the second so it's impossible for you to make any kind of headway with work. You find that most of the time, you are in fact teaching them how to do the simplest pieces of marketing work or what the purpose of a certain marketing discipline is. You would expect anyone in a senior Marketing position to know the core basics of copywriting, PPC, web management, PR and social media but they don't here, you'd have a better chance of getting more sense and direction from a monkey. The environment is pernicious and there is zero morale amongst staff members. And the more worrying thing is that this is company wide and not just isolated to the marketing team. The company has the biggest staff turnover I have ever known and they just don't seem to care. If you have a different opinion to the Owners or senior management then forget it, it won't be listened too or taken on board. The salaries are a joke too, doesn't matter what department or position you are in, they pay grossly under the industry average. Combine this with everything else and no wonder everyone is miserable. The list of cons is quite literally endless, work here at your peril! You would get a much better deal if you sold your soul to the devil.

      Thank you for your feedback. You have gone into a lot of detail specific to a particular area of the business which can’t be commented on individually, but I would like to address some of the company-wide comments you make. We would like to assure anyone reading this review that our strategy is not changing all the time. We review and refocus priorities, which gives us the agility to give our customers what they need when they want it. We have a great formula for success, which delivers great results as our performance shows. I would like to point out that our people are the key factor in our proven success, and at the heart of this lie our senior management team. These people have the skills and attitudes to lead the business in this rapid period of growth which is why we trust in them, the work they do and the decisions they make. Regarding micromanagement – we don’t have the resources to do this and it isn’t the A-SAFE way. We want our staff to use their initiative and creativity. However, we will get more involved to support someone where there are some problems around delivering results. This is good, supportive people management and is intended and usually seen as a positive and welcome input. The sort of people who excel at A-SAFE are agile, open to change and new ideas and want to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. So, if you are a prospective candidate taking a look at us, hopefully this will resonate with you. We have a number of ways in which we listen to staff. From the top down, anyone can (and people certainly do) express a view or idea and it will be listened to. This resource is being strengthened by our employee engagement survey which gives us feedback on a variety of areas. We also encourage managers to have regular one-to-ones with their team and everyone has a formal performance appraisal. We keep close to what good employers are doing to support their people to be their best and we are always looking to improve on our employee offering.

      Pros

      A-SAFE makes a decent product.

      Cons

      Do not walk but RUN from any opportunity with A-SAFE. When I say that this is the worst company I have ever worked for, it's not just my opinion. It should be the company motto. I knew I made a mistake working here when the sales coach was literally encouraging employees to start interviewing with other companies due to poor leadership and inconsistent messaging. This is one of those places that will constantly ask employees for feedback, but if you disagree with the way things are running they will find a way to get rid of you. The most toxic company culture I have ever been a part of. They try to instill fear as a leadership tactic so everyone is constantly wondering when they will be next on the chopping block. Ownership has no idea how to run a company, so every few months they make changes without any kind of real vison or direction. If you do feel stuck here, use your time to start updating your resume and find somewhere else that actually values their people.
