Pros

The upper echelon management is spearheaded by a very passionate and dedicated Alex Tatham whom I believe could inspire anybody. He has done wonders for the business, that I cannot fault and I am certain that Joe is enjoying the benefits of such a focused MD.

Cons

The company has a high turnover of general sales account managers of which for many it is their first foray in the I.T industry. There is an incestuous culture than exists within the lower ranked management team's and team supervisors. This onion like layer consists of multiple supervisory, team management, group management with many of these positions being filled by a clique group that can make you feel very much an outsider. There was often a childish nature to the office and it was this that made my decision to seek new pastures as I had a family bereavement and had to leave the office early unfortunately this was accompanied by the entire sales floor clapping and jeering with shouts of "I wish I could leave early" they didn't know my circumstances but that doesn't excuse it either.

Firstly - that's flattering and I am delighted that you like my style of leadership. However, I am disappointed that you felt 'out of a clique' particularly as a number of more recent positions have been filled by new hires from outside the business as we try to bring a new perspective to the sales team and I value our Team Spirited behaviour very highly. We have a vibrant sales floor and as a fast-moving sales focused business we feel a light-hearted environment benefits the team. I am sorry that on the occasion you mention you felt it was not an appropriate response, however, as the team weren’t aware of your personal circumstances I am sure it wasn’t meant with any disrespect. If you wish to discuss this further we’d welcome you to contact the HR team at HR@westcoast.co.uk. Alex

Pros

Can't think of any!

Cons

I vane quite comprehend into words how awful it was to work here. Coming from the outside world to a 1980's nightmare. I've never worked anywhere where it's perfectly acceptable for 75% of the men (usually management) to have complete dominance over you. There are a a lot of decent hard working people that work here but the way the company is run is atrocious. If professionalism was rated out of 10 they wouldn't even score 1. If you enjoy to be swore at, have a filing cabinet thrown your way and be spoken to like a piece of dirt then this is absolutely the place for you. Since leaving I have never complained about my new place at work.. I have nothing to complain about in comparison as anywhere is better than working at westcoast. I wrote to HR explaining my issues begging for them to find me a new position and a day later I was brought into a room and handed my notice.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am sorry that you had a bad experience and would clearly address your concerns directly. It is clearly not conditions I want or experience here at Westcoast and the business is growing fast. If you feel you can put more flesh on the bones of your issues, please do write to HR@westcoast.co.uk and our team will ensure you get a fuller answer than I can put here on Glassdoor. Alex

Pros

You get paid each month.

Cons

I wrote this: Do you like being treated like dirt? Enjoy being bullied and made to feel worthless? Fancy losing your soul on a daily basis for a below average salary? If you've said yes to these questions, keep reading. If you already suffer from low self esteem and have no self respect then WORSTcoast is the company for you. Benefits: Completely lose what little self worth you have. Leave each day feeling useless. Enjoy your stomach turning over on your drive in to work each day. All this and more can be yours when you join WORSTcoast.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it’s disappointing to hear that things didn’t work out for you. Although we are grateful for your review, without knowing where you worked within the organisation or even when, it’s hard to really say anything honest about what happened for you. We also take any accusations of bullying or unfair treatment very seriously and our HR team are always available to speak to any of our employees in confidence regarding any issues or concerns that they have. We would really like to understand what happened on this occasion and would appreciate you getting in touch. Please email HR@westcoast.co.uk so we can discuss this further.
