Frasers Group Reviews

I genuinely have never experienced a job quite like this one and not for good reasons. FG are masters at selling you the dream job, but the non existent benefits, working hours and office culture is absolutely appalling for what is expected of you. I was made aware there is a team in HR dedicated to improving the Glassdoor rating, because they know how bad it is, they try to disguise is as opposed to fixing the issues. The bullying in this place is mind blowing, I can’t believe watchdog aren’t into them already? Luckily I never experienced this badly myself, but I actually handed my notice in because of how I saw my fellow colleagues being treated. Our department was regularly told we need to “watch our backs” because higher management “doesn’t like the design department” ?!?! It often felt like they were going to get rid of the department and with redundancies happening company-wide, there was no sense of value or job security.

No real benefits other than the legal minimum. Lack of trust and transparency in the company. I was told point blank by my line manager that they trust no one in the team. Everyone works over their hours, no one takes lunch breaks. You have to scan in and out of the building like a child being checked in and out of school. A lot of promise made by the company but no delivery. The employee engagement survey has been pushed back 6months because the company has done nothing with the results of the last one. That speaks volumes. There is minimal staff recognition. Promotion’s/ pay rises promised but take months to be signed & only after you have “proved yourself” doing the role for months (no back pay). The way some people communicate can be disrespectful & unprofessional. Undermining, belittling and some times just rude. This is ignored and accepted as the norm because of who they are. The culture has taken steps backwards this year.
