Pros

There are none, it’s a mess.

Cons

Constant micro management. No knowledge of the industry they operate in or how to adapt in a changing market. Little to no reward for achieving targets. False reviews mislead most people into giving these a go - trust me don’t make that mistake. Threatening staff constantly with their job Discrimination against those with mental health problems. Your commission will be decimated shortly before being payed out. Beware this is a monolithic problem. Won’t say any more just don’t .....please

It's unfortunate that you do not believe there are any pros about Yu Energy, our colleagues come into work and are dedicated, working with us to make things better for all. All sales roles are understandably pressurised as there are KPI's and targets to meet. These roles are not for the faint hearted. Our best sales colleagues love it as they have the ability to earn significant commissions. It feels like you didn't quite live up to your expectations of being a great sales agent, although the necessary support was there for you. One thing as a business we make very clear is that we do not mother you and you have to take personal responsibility for your behaviour and performance. We wish you the best in your sales career. Kind regards, Yu Group HR Team

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you felt that our people are a supportive team with fantastic management styles and a great, friendly working environment. Our Employee Engagement Survey Results 2022 highlight that 94% of our people are happy to be a part of the organisation. Our management team are open to feedback to help them, their teams and the organisation continually improve. At Yu Energy, there is a strong zero-bullying tolerance which reflects all employee legislation. We have very clear processes and policies to ensure individuals speak up and report any negative behaviour to your line manager or the HR department. It is disappointing you did not raise these points if you felt this was the case whilst you were still a Yu employee, we have an open door policy and the HR team are available at any time to help and address any concerns that you may have. I hope you find the right role that helps you flourish in your career. Kind regards, Yu Group HR Team

Pros

I have worked for Yu Energy coming up to 8 years and can honestly say i have never had any issues. Reading previous reviews stating that we are overworked and underpaid i think this is a massive exaggeration. When joining a company you are expected to work to earn your wage. Unfortunately alot of people dont have this mindset and think that it is a playground, We are a striving energy company that at certain times of the month we are under pressure due to queries that need rectifying. This is the time to show how hands on you are and show you can work as part of a team. The people are lovely ranging from the domestic staff to the CEO. Everyone is treated the same where i am concerned.

Cons

Carparking in the leicester area but this is something we cant rectify due to the location.
