Great place to gain experience - Environmental Consultant Phlorum Employee Review

Get a wide range of experience over a short time frame Most of the team is lovely and supportive Company vans available for surveys You can largely manage your own schedule

Training is sporadic and poor quality Low salaries Unpaid excessive overtime, insufficient breaks between working days when finishing in the small hours in the summer Unpleasant, judgemental management culture 0 hours summer surveyors are barely trained Very high staff turnover means a lot of your work is attempting to pick up where someone else left off

+ Positive working atmosphere. + Supportive colleagues. + Regular pay reviews. + Opportunities to develop. + Directors are approachable. + Variety of workload. + Team has a family feel.

Difficult to think of many downsides. I left during the pandemic when there was instability in the sector and therefore in the company. Had the pandemic not occurred, I probably wouldn't have left the company.
