As a last resort, I still wouldn’t work here. - Sales Associate Eteach Employee Review

Pros

The hours are the only thing (08:30-17:00)

Cons

Unfortunately, this company suffers from serious leadership and structural issues. The CEO appears ill-equipped to effectively manage the business, and tensions between him and the Managing Director—his son—regularly play out publicly on the office floor, creating an unprofessional and uncomfortable work environment. As a family-run business, opportunities for genuine career progression are essentially nonexistent. Performance and loyalty are not recognised in any meaningful way—there are no regular salary reviews, and the commission structure is deliberately opaque. If you perform well and begin earning fair rewards for your hard work, expect sudden changes that diminish your compensation. Staff turnover is extremely high across all teams of the business, from sales & E.B to CSM’s New employees are often sold a dream during the interview process, only to be faced with a very different reality within days of joining. The culture is cliquey, and some managers have been known to take credit for the work and achievements of their team members. Micromanagement is constant, and morale is low. Redundancies are poorly handled, often communicated by impersonal emails. In one case, a misdirected ‘reply all’ email from the CEO confirmed further job cuts—despite previous reassurance from the MD that they had ended. (Yes, people took screenshots!) Additionally, some managers engage in manipulative behaviour, gaslighting staff when legitimate concerns are raised. Rather than taking accountability or offering solutions, they respond with phrases like, “I’m sorry you feel that way,” which only adds to the frustration. Family members, regardless of their role or contribution, are paid disproportionately high salaries and openly flaunt their wealth in the workplace. This behaviour does nothing to motivate staff and instead fosters resentment.

Pros

There is a lot of passion within the business, so many long term staff can see how much of a great business it is. I worked here for close to 12 years and although I am moving on in order to grow my capabilities outside of what Eteach can provide me and to move further up the country, I strongly believe the right people will fall in love with the business and overlook the struggles you might face with regard to higher management. The truth of the matter is that passion drives the frustrations that the CEO brings to the forefront. The business is very much family focused. The Customer Services Director is one of the greatest Managers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! She is the epitome of what customer service truly is! Her second in command has grown up in the business like me and has absorbed all for her great ethics and quality managerial leadership and together they will continue support and nurture the team they look after to grow the business forwards.

Cons

Benefits package could definitely use a overhaul and additional pension contribution would be advantageous. Equally to the Pro for the business, the passion of CEO can be overwhelming at times, with it spilling out in a negative way but luckily there are awesome people who will shield others from it when they can.
