No care for the wellbeing of staff - Anonymous employee Ginger Recruitment Services Employee Review

Pros

Staying in touch with people who have also left after sharing the same experience

Cons

Total and complete lack of care of the staff's mental wellbeing. A bullying culture that places blame on staff and management that refuse to ever accept responsibility. An individual was badly suffering with ongoing mental health problems l. Despite knowing the full history of this, the manager still put blame on this individual and said that they were the reason why no one wanted to be in the office. The irony of this being that it was the manager's behaviour and attitude that was the real reason no one wanted to be there. I have never heard of such disgraceful behaviour from a manager and supposed friend. To say that to an individual at such a vulnerable and emotional time is completely inexcusable. If you care about your own mental wellbeing, and wellbeing of others around you I would strongly advise to stay away from this company.

This review is not only wrong but defamatory. As far as we are aware we have been notified of one instance of a member of staff having mental health issues. That person was given lots of support; financially, medically and making a number of significant changes to the individuals role to hep make life easier. If the person making this review is the individual effected then you know what extra-ordinary support they received, if not (which I am assuming) you know nothing of the support given because the matter is a confidential matter between Ginger and that individual.

Pros

I've worked at Ginger for a year now. I can honestly say that it has been the best year of my professional life. From the moment I stepped into the office for my interview, I was welcomed with open arms. In fact, I've never laughed so much in an interview! That was just the beginning. From then on, I have received an unbelievable amount of support and training. As time has passed, we have successfully managed to grow our department, offering stability and opportunity. Qualifications are funded for those that are interested in developing their skill set, a real bonus! The offices are set in rural Dinckley, so no two hour commutes into Manchester for us! A couple of us sometimes go on short walks at lunchtime, it's the perfect place to reset after a busy morning. What I love most about working for Ginger is how family-like we are. Work doesn't feel like work when you are surrounded by your friends! Regular social events, team quizzes, meals out and even group trips up The Three Peaks mean that we're so much more than colleagues. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else and I look forward to many more years to come.

Cons

Occasionally work runs over the usual 9-5 hours, but it's like anything in life... you get out what you put in.
