Fourth As Is..

Pros

Fourth as a company provides many opportunities to grow, learn, contribute to customers and travel. The Fourth products are very good, caters very well to the Hospitality Market and is constantly innovating to keep up to the market needs and industry expectations.

Cons

Certain key elements within Fourth can be very money driven over customer satisfaction which is disappointing. You have to constantly work very hard to make your mark, as your hard work can be easily forgotten by favouritism in the company. HR is not the best, very limited sense of employee concern.

Thank you for making the effort to leave a review about your time with us and recognising our dedication to improvement. Our People Operations department has had significant investment in the last year going from one person to 7 people. Over this period we have launched several initiatives dedicated to employee development and wellness such as the House of Excellence (our learning and development programme), the live awards, and the Global Corporate Challenge. Most recently in the first week of August 2016 we dedicated a whole week to employee wellness featuring workshops, gym memberships, exercises classes, Health MOTs and a whole host of wellness boosting tips. We are always looking for ways to improve the experience of our customers and employees so please contact me personally if you would like to discuss in more detail

Look after your employees

Pros

The best people I've ever worked with. On the whole the employees and teams were very welcoming and friendly. Many people make the effort to get to know those in other teams and are always working hard but keen to have fun too. Good overall atmosphere and culture.

Cons

General communication was awful and the way employees were managed in and out of the company was unacceptable. There was a high turnover of staff during my employment, with a number of staff disappearing overnight with no communication or explanation - having been fired or terminated effective immediately. People who cared about the company and worked incredibly hard to improve and progress it were dropped without warning. The senior management can often be unprofessional and favouritism is rife. A number of fires, hires or promotions within the company appear to happen based on favouritism or lack there of. Individuals who were good at their job but weren't favoured by management would be dismissed and those with little experience or ability but friendly with management would be hired or promoted. When handled in an incredibly unprofessional manner, it's put down to Fourth not being very good at looking after their staff - something that simply isn't good enough!!

We are very proud of the fact we have such great people here at Fourth so I am very pleased that you mentioned this in your post. Communication can always be improved and if we want to continue to grow as a company and keep our employees, motivated and informed, this is extremely important. In regards to promotions, where a new role becomes available, all interested employees are invited to apply for the role and will be interviewed. It is really important that we are transparent in our selection process and an open, fair interview process creates this foundation. As we continue to grow, I agree that we must protect our culture and act in accordance with our company values.
