Pros

There are some great people who work there,who deserve so much better !

Cons

You are treated as a number only, the archaic MD /chairwoman needs to retire immediately before she destroys a good business further. Most decent staff have now left, or she has brow beaten the others so much that they feel they can't get another job anywhere else and that she is doing them a favour. She has her favourites who brown nose her to get more money and fake promotions to keep some staff. They are really struggling with recruitment hence the forced and fake good reviews recently. Please do not work here it's awful! Micromanaged in every aspect of your role Goal posts changed constantly No flexibility at all No home working No concern for staff wellbeing and mental health Ignored or treated awfully if you dare to speak up The recently appointed MD's have no say at all they are just puppets in the show Massive lack of diversity It's very rule by fear and a shouting environment across all offices. She is building the business up for sale apparently however I doubt she will have a decent business left. Also any prospective decent buyers will look at the management structure and reviews and run a mile! My advice don't work here,and any current staff get out the grass is definitely greener!

Hello and I'm sorry about your experience at Insider in the past - National World bought this business in May this year ( 2023 ) and previous management and ownership exited - we are now on a different path and our employees are the most important asset in our business. I understand this didn't always feel like the case previously . best regards Mike Hartley
