Hi thanks for your review! Its great to hear that you are happy with your company benefits and discounts but very disappointing to hear that you are unhappy with the management and feeling underappreciated. I would suggest you raise your concerns initially with the Site Operations Manager who may be able to address some of your worries. However if you feel you would like to escalate this further then please contact employee.relations@welcomebreak.co.uk. Thanks Alexandra Walker Head of Organisational Talent

Pros

The discounts are fantastic, There are also endless opportunities for you if you are willing to take them!

Cons

The company can very quite a bit depending on who is running the site, during my time I have had some not so inspirational leaders, that being said it seems to be a culture that is being weened out quite aggressively with the new leadership.

Hi and thanks for your review. Its great that over your 10 years at Welcome Break that you are a big fan of our career opportunities and discount schemes. We are really proud of both of these areas of our culture and we will continue to build and evolve these. Thank you for your feedback with regards to the leaders that you have worked with, we have done a great deal of work over the last few years with our Senior Succession Planning and High Potential programme, with our aim to develop more leaders to deliver the culture we want to see, this is always a work in progress but hopefully you can see this evolution with your current Site Leader at Corley. You are right to point out that the company has been through a significant amount of change with new CEO's and being run by new owners. With new owners brings change and new ideas and I would ask that you are patient with us as we transition through this time. If you have any feedback or concerns though please feel free to speak to your Site Leader who can escalate these further. Once again thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your review, great to hear that you thought you worked in a great team. Sorry to hear that you are no longer working with us, was this due to the long hours and understaffing? If there is anything you would like to tell us about then please feel free to email Employee.Relations@WelcomeBreak.co.uk. Thanks again for your review.
