Pros

I moved to this company to get a better work life balance from my previous employment and I can say its not disappointed. The Monday to Friday is great but the company is also very understanding of child care issues. If you work hard and get results here you will be rewarded. Not just financially but also with career progressions, its a good company to progress from within if your willing to deliver the results! The company is very much evolving and is a different company to the one I joined with a lot more positive changes being implemented which are very much in mind of the customer and the employee. Ive recommended quite a few people to come work for the company and they have now been here for sometime and progressed from within.

Cons

Communication could be better but this is something that is definitely improving.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, and for the commitment you’ve shown over the past few years as a Key Account Manager. We’re really pleased to hear Safetykleen has delivered the work-life balance you were looking for, and that the Monday to Friday structure and understanding around childcare has made a real difference. It’s also great to hear you’ve felt recognised for hard work and results - not only financially, but through development and progression opportunities. The fact you’ve recommended others to join and seen them grow their careers with us means a lot. We also appreciate your honest feedback on communication. You’re right that this is an area we’ve been working hard to improve as the business evolves, and we’ll keep focusing on clearer, more consistent communication across teams. Thanks again for recommending Safetykleen and for being such a positive advocate for the business.

Pros

The people working for Safetykleen are some of the hardest working and loyal. Whilst there I built up good relations with several people across numerous geographies.

Cons

They have churned 15 executive roles in 18 months, and most have left because of the CEO Philip Maugey. Even the Executive Recruitment industry is avoiding him! The pay and remuneration looks good, but it will never materialize.

Pros

People across the branches are working hard and great to work with. Finance and Accounting teams are brilliant.

Cons

After new CEO joined and UK MD got canned, the business is a free for all. It doesn't communicate goals, values or achievements. UK Management are all focused on personal gain, and willing to throw everyone under the bus to avoid being called out. No company culture, or values shared. No integrity or honesty from UK Senior Management Only focused on short term Sales numbers, it forgets that the basics of business need to be rebuilt and long term investments are required Business will run around in circles until core issues as described are solved.
