Lyle & Scott Reviews

They have a very funny way of manipulating you into thinking you’re lucky to have a job there. You start the job thinking this is a great company to work for with the many events they put on for employees such as End of Year Awards, Summer party, Q1, H1 etc events, team building days out and Beer Friday. It’s funny how they can put a substantial amount of money towards these types of events/days but not pay their employees what they deserve, what they work hard for doing endless amount of hours and still being told to work harder. They make roles “redundant” but then replace that individual with a different job title but with the exactly the same responsibilities. Because of the overworked, underpaid and toxic environment Lyle & Scott is, they can’t seem to understand why peoples mental health gets triggered and they get signed off sick. … And they wonder why their turnover is high and have to recruit continuously?

Under paid and under appreciated staff - have heard of teams asked for feedback and when they have specifically said that they didn't feel they were shown any appreciation, to have the manager make absolutely no changes and continue to ignore team Empty promises (including payrises that don't come through, changes to culture, support you will receive, progression opportunities) High turnover of staff, and slow to replace. Have seen it take over a year to replace multiple members of staff, and have the work load dumped on others in the team with no recognition. When questioned, told they are still actively recruiting, but no progress made. Support available is department dependent - have seen so many people struggle with stress, and depends who leads your department as to whether anything is done to help. People go on recurring stress leave or end up just quitting, rather then anything put in place to support. Know people who were ignored after they spoke up to defend others who seemed to be seriously struggling Whilst some of management were incredibly supportive, this wasn't a universal experience and some people are really left alone and struggling. Lack of clarity and communication. In line with the high turnover/slow staff replacement/redundancies, it isn't clear who is responsible for what, whether the is additional support coming in and leads to additional stress. Poor work/life balance
