Pros

Management team are really looking to drive the company forward and there is a buzz about the change that is happening. Communication is being supported across the teams through different initiatives and there is a lot happening that can support career aspirations. Received Silver IIP standard this year and have a stated aim to get Gold which means more best practice being adopted.

Cons

A lot is going on! Same with any drive in a business, the pace of change can be a challenge.

A Special Place

Pros

I have been with EW for over 7 years - it's a special place to work and unlike anywhere else I have ever been. It is characterised by hardworking, passionate people, who all look after each other. They believe that happy colleagues means happy clients, and their retention rates would certainly validate that view.

Cons

It's challenging and not for everyone. The pace is frenetic and there isn't much time to catch breath. It's a tough competitive sector, and there are no hiding places!

Brilliant!

Pros

Exceptionally strong values - to provide brilliant service and to do the right thing for clients and colleagues - with strong leadership. It seems that EW really does care about its clients and colleagues - and it seems to be always challenging itself to do better. With the founder, Mark Ellis, returning to the business last year and with a great new MD, Gavin Snell, joining and with many investments now being made in good people and systems, there is an exciting, energetic and positive feel in the business. There is a genuine desire by colleagues to deliver the best (brilliant) quality fixed fee HR/ employment law / health & safety services, which feels good.

Cons

It's a fast growing forward thinking business with big ambition and demanding expectations and standards, which brings plenty of challenges and does not suit everybody. However the business is investing in people and systems and so those people that buy into the vision are excited by the challenge and future.
