Pros

Ellis Whittam has been a great employer from the start, and it just keeps on getting better. Employees at all levels are engaged and the values of the company are clearly seen in the way that colleagues work and interact every day. The company puts great emphasis on employee development, and employee contribution is recognised

Cons

Working from home can mean that there is a chance that homeworkers can become isolated. However, the company recognises this and do all they can to prevent this from happening

Thank you for your review on Glassdoor, your comments are really valuable. We are very aware of the challenges that home working can bring and would encourage you and all home based colleagues to contact HR with any feedback or ideas on what we can do to improve any feeling of isolation or distance. I know that many teams have found the improved Skype accessibility to be a great benefit and we welcome other ideas on what we can do to enable you to feel connected. Thanks again and best wishes with your future career 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.
