Pros

Employee engagement is incredible with BREWS (Body Representing Ellis Whittam). This is made up of everyday staff members from each department. BREWS is responsible for allow the employees to have a voice and to organise fun events to get staff involved. The directors actually AIM to have a great working environment and genuinely want staff to be happy and proud to be at EW. My managers are extremely supportive. EW has a very inclusive atmosphere. This was a little strange to me personally at first as i'm not very forthcoming. However within days I found myself saying "hi" to random people in passing which eventually progresses into conversations. This means eventually you get to have working relationships with A LOT of lovely and interesting people. Every member of staff gets their own desk phone.

Cons

I get the feeling the BDE team don't have the same amazing experience that I have due to it being so target driven however I've never actually heard a complaint... just stresses. Chris can't keep up with refilling the coffee machine enough because we all go through a ton of coffee per day. No mobile phone signal but wifi is provided. The induction is very intense but also very informative. Thank god i didn't start inductions on day 1.

Hi there and thank you for your post. It is great to hear how much you value the work that your colleagues do on BREWS for everyone at EW and how they contribute to making EW a fun place to work with the number of events they lead on. Your reports of an inclusive and friendly culture tied in with very supportive managers is very encouraging. I shared your comments with the Head of our Business Development Executive (BDE) Team. You are right to pick up that the team is target driven and the team thrive on the buzz of being under pressure and achieving great rewards with it! Thanks also for your comments on the EW Induction schedule, we try and get it right for people depending on their role. I would really appreciate it if you would contact a member of the HR Team to tell us more about your induction experience. Thanks again and hope that you continue to enjoy your time at EW.

Pros

Career opportunities are good. Salaries are decent. There are some nice individuals within the business.

Cons

Awful, awful dictatorship style management from the top down. Massive labour turnover. An utterly ridiculously political environment. Some leaders in the business are more concerned with escalating their own image and financial worth within the business and they are happy to use you as cannon fodder. Lied to, on a number of occasions. Told there would be a secure job for us after restructures, only to find out some of our jobs had already been recruited for and then individuals previously told there would be a place for them at WN have then been made redundant. They literally couldn't care less about your wellbeing if they tried... They have just launched a wellbeing charter - which would be great. However on recent group meetings there has even been ridiculous things like a 'car park hierarchy' where the senior people in the business get to park closer to the door, and the minions have to park further down the car park. Awful, awful, awful, toxic and damaging environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We're so sorry to hear of your experiences and can assure you that a great deal of work has been carried out recently to set the foundation for a positive culture within WorkNest, including the articulation of our Values and holding people to account if they are not aligned to these. We are also progressing our leadership development and I can assure you that no such hierarchy exists today. Thank you for your contribution and we wish you well in your future plans.
