Pros

You'll get notified whenever the CEO appears in the media.

Cons

Appalling communication whenever there is bad news to deliver. Public face of Alan Price bares no resemblance to how he runs his companies. To take one of many examples: he recently did an interview titled "...Why It’s Important To Include Neurodiverse Employees & How To Make Your Workplace More Neuro-Inclusive". His policies this year have driven neurodiverse people out whilst putting them under unnecessary mental strain. The recent addition of exit interviews appears to be nothing more than an opportunity for him to explain why nothing is his fault. Despite being open being one of our core values until recently people are now sacked instantly or 'managed out' if they question management at all. Any staff who work from home are now expected to use an app on their phone that will alert management if we leave our house during the day. Despite assurances that Bright are committed to hybrid working all new pay rises are conditional on signing a new contract which increases how many days we need to be in the office. Pay has been frozen for a year and a half. Morale is very low, most meetings that don't include a manager are an opportunity for us to vent and nothing else gets done.

Pros

-Management are supportive, -Earning Potential -Transferrable Skills - Benefits (HOLIDAYS FOR TOP PERFORMERS) - Floor Managers and Associate Director are lovely and very supportive and really do try to help where they can. Very very good culture. people are lovely and it is a nice place to be most of the time

Cons

-Basic Salary i was offered is the same one i was on at 19 and it has not changed for anybody since i have been here this needs a review! - Policies within the business are laughable, but again as seen in other reviews there is too much bureacracy for things to be changed. - your time is not your own, Headcount has increased significantly but the amount of staff "ALLOWED" off is 2 at a time in team of 40! - Lateness policies - I stayed one evening til 7:30pm (2 hours after my shift to sign a deal) i then recieved a formal warning for being 3 minutes late due to a crash which i showed evidence of! - 0 Common Sense in internal policies.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! We’re really pleased to hear your positive comments about the supportive management, earning potential, development of transferable skills, and the strong culture you’ve experienced. It’s also great to hear your appreciation for the support provided by floor managers and leadership, and that you find the working environment a positive place to be. We also appreciate your feedback around policies and processes. BrightHR has structured policies in place to help ensure fairness, transparency and consistency across the business, and to make sure all employees are treated equitably. We recognise that in a fast aced environment, these can sometimes feel rigid on an individual level, and we continue to review how we balance structure with flexibility where appropriate. We also note your feedback around pay and time off availability. We understand these are important factors in the overall employee experience, and they remain areas of ongoing focus as we continue to evolve and support our teams. Thank you again for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re glad to have you as part of the BrightHR team, and you can always reach out to your line manager or director if you would like to discuss anything further. We hope you have a great end to your week!
