Neighborly® reviews

Managers were two faced and only cared about their jobs when it came down to it. Pretended to care about personal issues and illness but then said too much time off was taken when probation meeting came, boxes had to be ticked. Training was meant to be provided but I had to pick my own training, to then be told months later that I should have picked something different, even though I was given no budget, no guidelines or anything. No opportunity for flexibility. Office hours were strict. Code of values is ridiculous. Having to stand around the office and quote them in unison with each other is almost cult like. Felt like i could have left and never come back, and no one would have noticed. Manager was rarely in the office and neither was my colleague in my team. I was sat alone for a lot of my time there. There is no family there, no one would have noticed if i never came in. Very high stress, developed mental health issues working here. Now working somewhere where I want to get up in the morning.

Massive lack of flexibility No working from home (even though managers and SM do wfh sometimes and the US and European offices do) No work life balance Regimented office environment Lack of trust with employees Toxic office culture Unapproachable managers Too much of a focus on money and results, not enough on the employees Lack of disabled access (lift has been broken for over a year, person on crutches had to hobble up two flights of stairs) Employees not listened to (employee survey released and seemed to dodge the more pressing issues in the results) Creativity is discouraged (all ideas for each brand have to go through the MD which are usually quashed for something “we have always done and works”) Too much pressure on Managers causing a ripple effect on staff People just want to leave the office as fast as they can at the end of the day No sick pay Had to take holiday when I was sick, otherwise I wouldn’t get Not enough holiday Favouritism between brands, some brands are not prioritised due to the lack of turnover leaving employees in a tug of war between two brands The list goes on, honestly one the worst working environments I have experienced.
