Pros

Managers listen: no need to be afraid to raise issues; changes are made in response to staff feedback and team briefing feedback; salary was benchmarked and improved a couple of years ago; rewards for hard workers. Although a home-based worker I don't feel left out. Have just received two small bags of mini Easter eggs (sent by the office)! Lots of regular updates on business performance and the company's targets. This is an extremely busy role (h&s consultant) and you need to be cut out to work alone and work really hard, however it does not go unnoticed. The rest of the team is great. Most staff are down to earth and cooperative, and share info and advice.

Cons

As another poster has said, client base increasing quicker than increase in consultants and this is leading to extremely heavy workloads. However, a quick chat with your diary manager usually helps to resolve the issue.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are a busy company and the growth we are experiencing will mean this is set to continue. Linked to this we understand that our growth is only possible by retaining the brilliant talent we have already and adding to it in the future. As well as this we are investing in technical applications that will make the administration for the role more efficient while still ensuring we deliver a brilliant personal consultative service to our clients. Outside of the day to day role we also like to make sure no one is left out and will always make sure our remote and home working colleagues get their Easter Eggs :)

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!
