Great place to work with amazing benefits - Anonymous employee Shopblocks Employee Review

Excluding the management, the majority of the team are genuinely lovely - so lovely I hope they soon escape and realise they’re worth much more than this place. The benefits are great but very much a disguise to cover the awful business behind it. Biggest pro was them letting me go through redundancy, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I’m now thriving in a 5 star company.

The toxic leadership team have no idea how to run a business or how to be a leader. I never received an employment contract. They don’t know how to manage people or even be legally compliant (I could easily take them to a tribunal and win if I had the time- but I’d much rather forget this place exists after leaving this review). The way they handle redundancy and any HR detail is entirely wrong, or doesn’t exist. As an FYI I was hired I January, created an entire system and the second it was complete I was made redundant with immediate effect in April, with no real explanation or awareness of their redundancy process (there was none) now in the last month I’ve seen them hire 4 new starters. Huge red flag. Very unstable business with egotistical leaders who haven’t a clue what they’re doing.

Holiday allowance was decent - staff I worked with were great mates

This company boasts one of the highest staff turnovers I've ever seen. If that's not a glaring red flag, I don't know what is. The reasons are straightforward: lack of payment reviews, dismal work-life balance, and a profound lack of trust in their employees, evident in their laughable "work from home" policy.
