Pros

- Some really lovely people who work there, it's a shame they aren't running the place.

Cons

- Not much support from higher ups, it's frowned upon if you're having a bad day, they always talk about "employee welfare" but God forbid you forget to smile, you get pulled into the office over it! - Top heavy, too many people who are "management" but don't actually know how to manage their teams. - Not much insentive to do well, they plan all these "wonderful" parties but it's not the way to solve the deep rooted issues. All these PDPs they have set up work are biased, the managers always seem to be rewarded when they're the ones making mistakes yet anyone under them just gets marks "deducted" without good cause.

Pros

Good vision, good product and global expansion. I’m pleased to have spent over 3 years of my early career with fourth hospitality, I was one of the old schools so I’ve seen and had fair share from this company. Good location and office events. Amazing talents

Cons

Sole reason for leaving was absolutely no progression available for the majority of employees whom work hard and don’t mix with the close group (favourites) of Mr Hood. If you are not already in this group there’s absolutely no chance that you will be accepted, therefore promotion, development, pay rise etc is a dream. even when you are excelling and achieving way above targets Mr Hood and his gang are not prepared to give any other people a chance. You will be shut down and pushed away immediately. Shame on you for not allowing diversity into your the higher ranked roles in your organisation.

I’m so sorry you felt this way at Fourth. I enjoyed reading the pros and felt very sad about the cons. I’m not sure 3 years counts as ‘old school’ however. Look, the buck stops with me and whilst I accept full responsibility for this I don’t understand why you didn’t seek me about this as you use my name name specifically and don’t approve. If you find the time, please let’s meet up, I’d like to understand more. I certainly won’t shut you down, its not our style. Ben (Mr Hood)
