Thank you for taking the time to leave Aston Shaw a review and for providing us with some constructive feedback. We appreciate your input as a valued former employee. Please be rest assured that we are not involved with the Greek Mafia. All of our staff, regardless of their job description, are trained in anti-money laundering, as well as our accountants receiving continuous and extensive training. This ensures that no scams occur within the business, as our professionals are well-versed in identifying clandestine behaviour. We are working hard to build a good culture at Aston Shaw so we are disheartened that your experience working here was overall negative, and we understand your concerns. We have recently expanded our HR team and are providing more opportunity for open discussions with HR and managers to address any issues that may arise within our teams. Our vision is to maintain an engaging and interesting place for our staff to grow and thrive throughout their time with us, and we are very sorry to hear that this is not the experience you had. We encourage all employees to discuss their concerns with their managers or contact our HR department in our professional and friendly environment so we can work together to find a solution. Our intention is to make Aston Shaw an exceptional place to work, so we are always open to feedback, where honest and accurate, which will be considered and incorporated into future plans, as we recognise that there are always areas for improvement. So thank you again for your comments, and we wish you all the best for your career.

Pros

Pay for you to get your Qualifications done. Colleagues are nice in general.

Cons

Pay is terrible and they are in general unbelievably tight with money. Do not care about their employees at all, you are simply a name on a sheet. High staff turnover as no one enjoys it. All the employees there even the high up ones chat about how poor the running of it is. Very poor communication to the employees. The bonus scheme they advertise in the job adverts is a £15 amazon voucher at best. They say you’ll get to work in lots of different areas. Quick heads up, you won’t.
