Pros

I have only worked at A-Safe a few months but the changes I have seen in this time from an employee point of view are great. The flexible benefits scheme has something for everyone, in particular for me the flexible start and finish times are a great benefit that suit different lifestyles or preferences. The business is growing on a large scale and the investment into the development of new products/technologies makes it an exciting company to be involved with with opportunities being created in many different departments. The people at A-Safe are friendly, helpful and great colleagues to have.

Cons

There has been issues with the lack of communication from leadership to staff on the shop floor, but this has largely been due to there being no avenues for this and shifts conflicting with office hours. Work is currently being done on creating technological solutions to this to keep staff updated and in-the-know as to what is going on in the wider business so hopefully this should alleviate some of these concerns. Another potential con is the pace of growth and change creates a lack of space and means things are always changing. Not a problem if you embrace change and like to put the effort in to make a difference, but if you're someone who likes to stay stagnant and settled then it might not be the place for you.

Thank you for the detailed review and feedback on our flexible benefits scheme. It's great to know that you are enjoying the flexible start and finish times we offer. We appreciate your feedback on communication. This is a theme we recognise needed addressing as we grow so have recently taken big steps to improve this as you point out. We have recently launched our staff intranet which shares news and information with all employees across the globe, and are about to embark on launching a monthly A-SAFE newsletter. These are just two of the initiatives we have implemented or are just working on to enhance communication all around our global business from top-down and bottom-up. I also acknowledge your feedback on the lack of space as a result of our growth. As of this week, work has begun on a huge project at our HQ site to extend the factory by 2000 square metres, refurbish and extend our staff car park, create a new garden area for staff and give a new look to our existing offices. There are then further works planned to start an office extension and facilities upgrade in early 2020. These changes give us the ability to continue with our growth and to install some new and exciting manufacturing processes, whilst also improving the office environments and addressing the issues surrounding lack of space.

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.
