Pros

- The friendly team members. - Dogs in the office - Drinks on a Friday - Kelvin is a great director.

Cons

- Management doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing. - CEO is in denial that his company is going down hill, as they’re making plenty of staff redundant, but still trying to hire others. - Seems like they’re happy to use you and then get rid when they can no longer afford to pay you. - Plenty of big positions have recently left, this looks to be like they know something is about to go wrong and doesn’t instill confidence. - No compassion for people being let go for no fault of there own. - Two faced - The CEO will happily tell you that the staff retention rates are normal, but they’re not calculating the redundancies in that number. - Unless you’re an auditor you’re likely to go. I suggest you stay away at all costs unless you wish to be hired and used until they have to make further cuts and get rid of you.

Shield Safety Group Response

Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry it’s not a better one. We recently had to make some tough strategic decisions that involved structural changes within various teams. This meant that while a number of different roles were improved, a few existing positions were unfortunately no longer required. In this regard, we’re very sorry to hear you feel the situation was not handled with enough compassion as we do truly appreciate the commitment of all our colleagues. To let someone go is never easy, sometimes it is necessary to make such a difficult decision as we continue to grow. We wish you well in your future career and hope that one day you can look back with some fond memories of working with us. We would welcome further feedback, so should you feel comfortable in sharing this with us, please do get in touch at hr@shieldsafety.co.uk .
