Pros

Any pros were far outweighed by the cons

Cons

This company does not care about its employees in any real way. They have all the tick boxes and outward facing slogans and words. That’s all they are. Because on the ground, in the real world, most employees are treated like dirt. The only ones not treated like dirt are the ones willing to ‘work hard’ and by work hard, they mean, unpaid overtime which is expected and glorified. If you do your work within the working day and go home, even if you do a great job, this is not enough for them.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not reflected the supportive and respectful culture we aim to create at Vistry. We take concerns about how employees feel treated very seriously. Working beyond contracted hours should not be an expectation, and we continue to reinforce this with our teams while reviewing our practices to ensure a healthy work-life balance. We recognise that experiences can vary in different locations across the business, however we remain committed to listening, learning and improving. Your feedback is important in helping us do this.

Pros

The CEO and Chairman, Greg Fitzgerald, has now resigned

Cons

Constant rounds of redundancies year after year Hires new people, only to put them on redundancy notice within WEEKS whilst still in probation thereby ruining their careers. They left perfectly good jobs and then you make them redundant when their foot is barely on the door! No job security Terrible reputation for not paying suppliers on time Probably the worst run company I have ever worked for, long hours and toxic culture. Rotten to the core, will no doubt fail as a business model very soon
