Pros

Discounts, you having a laugh!!!! UBM, supervisors, and family's having everything ,for free! For the staff, what they earn, the difference, hardly seen, it's ironic.

Cons

This company is run, by "thugs",.....without any skills, professionalism, no humanaspects, you don't give a monkeys about the real people, who makes a difference, and fill, your pockets. There is never enough staff, ending hiring, staff, who aren't the most reliable, in every way, who had previous, real issues with the company. The English language, it's not spoken, what kind of message, are you portraying?

Welcome Break Response

Unorganised management and lack of clarity

Welcome Break Response

Thank you for your review and apologies it has taken us so long to get around to responding to your review. Great to hear that while you worked for us you felt we had some good benefits and discounts in place. This is something we are really proud of as a company and we are glad you felt this worked well. Really disappointed to hear that the management at your place of work wasn't as organised as it should be and lacked clarity for you. We are continually looking at ways that we can train and coach our managers to be better leaders, and this year we have really focused on those leadership skills through a coaching programme and career path courses. Thanks again for leaving a review - Alexandra Walker Head of Talent for Welcome Break
